Post Myelogram, long term vertigo? Dr...Please answer

by ladonnajdavis, Mar 23, 2008 09:14PM
I am a 34 year old female.  On 9/18/07, I had a Myelogram of the cervical spine performed, due to injuries sustained in a car accident.  After an excruciating headache that lasted for several days, I had a blood patch procedure done to stop the spinal fluid from leaking.  Still in bed for one week after the initial Myelogram procedure, I had another blood patch done which seemed to take effect almost immediately.  It is now March 18th, 2008, and I am still experiencing headaches, along with dizziness and bouts of disorientation and forgetfullness.  Could these be related at all?  I have seen my primary care doctor and he has given me antbiotics for an ear infection and after the antibiotics have run their course and even during, the dizzy and disorientation spells are still there.

At this point, any help is appreciated!
