I was decompressed August 13 and for almost two moths after felt the best in my life. No symptoms of any kind at all, energy like never before, really able to enjoy life! However, we welcomed the arrival or our third child about 3 weeks ago, and things started to go downhill. I was trying to help with the baby during the night, but as each day progressed and the lack of sleep piled up, all the symptoms started returning. The headaches, dizziness, confusion, all the fun stuff. I finally had to take a step back from helping at night so I could focus on making sure I am taking care of, which makes me feel selfish as hell, but things have started to improve. It's not back to where it was right after the surgery, but getting better. I've been sleeping on the couch since my surgery because I tend to roll onto my back in bed during the night and start hurting. I have been noticing that it will come and go, so I started to track what I was doing, eating, drinking, etc. Besides the lack of sleep kick starting stuff, I'm noticing that eating a lot cleaner, more balanced meals seems to help along with increasing my water intake. I also found that when I drank anything with alcohol that I would most times start up with a range of symptoms soon after. And probably the most concerning trigger that I have found is driving. I work about 30minutes from home, and by the time I make the drive either way I am drained of all energy and most times have a splitting headache to accompany it. I was diagnosed with a concussion and traumatic brain injury back in April after a car accident, so I don't know if this has something to do with it as well. I had an incident a couple nights ago while driving home with the family where I started to black out and had to pull over to let my wife drive the rest of the way. I don't remember half of the trip home and was out cold when we got there. I'm going back to the surgeon Thursday and will be discussing all of this with him, but any advice, help, tips or tricks that any one can provide on here is greatly appreciated!
