Wow I did not know that a LP could cause Chiari. I had a LP in 2007 when I had a brain bleed. After the LP everything went south for me. Of course the ED doctor failed to do an opening pressure. Later my Neurologist wanted me to do a repeat LP. I told him so sad to bad , but I was not going to volunteer for another one unless it was a medical emergency. After the LP I could not sit up right for weeks and I was left with a headache that lasted nine months. None of the stupid doctors could find the source of the bleed or decide if they should do a blood patch. Now I know that the bleed and all the complications were because of EDS. Still I can’t believe that not a one of them could figure it out.

Wow, Shonda, that is horrifying! That is sort of medicine 101, you know? Even with blood patches, many of us don’t heal right… Some of us sprout leaks without punctures! I’m actually quite horrified to hear that they didn’t ‘get’ it. None months? Gads….
