Epidural Headaches

by jaclec, Apr 23, 2008 09:07PM
I have had a persistant "Migraine" headache for a year now. Nothing has helped.  I have had CT scans, MRIs and gone to many different doctors.  I finally went to a neurologist.  I walked in with my one year old.  She asked how long I have had them.  Then asked if I had an epidural.  I told her yes.  She did a few tests on me.  She felt that the epidural caused my headache.  She set up a blood patch appointment.  I had it done and haven't had the headache since.  I am so thrilled I found the reason.  I was to the point I thought I was going to go crazy!  These headaches are horrible!  Please know that they can last for that long untreated.  It did for me.
