Doasfu 0 #1 July 5, 2001 Hey Folks,For those eagerly following the saga of my headache (see "Frustration") I thought I'd pop on with an update. Early this afternoon my head starting hurting intensely, so I went in to the ER. To make a very, very long story short, I ended up getting a CAT Scan and eventually having a spinal tap ("Right. This one here goes up to 11") to check for (!!) blood in the fluid. Shit, they thought I might have an aneurysm.It turns out that I don't have that, or the encephalitis they thought I might have, and that whatever the headache is, it's nothing dangerous. Still, it was a pretty damn scary day.Right now the morphine is making me just a little bit sleepy. Hopefully I'll be able to jump by this weekend.Dan"Oh, you went to a movie this weekend? That's nice. Me? Not much." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #2 July 5, 2001 Dan,I'm glad you went to the Dr. and they did those tests so at least you know it is not life threatening. Go back if it continues until they find what it is and please do not jump when you hurt like this.Let us know if we can do anything of if they find anything.Lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skystorm 0 #3 July 5, 2001 Doasfu,I get those same headaches as well. The first time I got one I thought I was dying from a brain tumor.I start getting this lights (if you can call it that) in front of my eyes, than my fingers and toes go numb, my nose is next.The doctor told me it's migraine and it's quite normal for stressed out people.Since I started to skydive it hasn't returend. Touch wood!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
