PIK Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 This may be unrelated to PANDAS, I don't know. I've had a terrible headache and neck pain etc. for months now and I asked for a lumbar puncture and doc agreed. I have very high ASO titers in the 1600 range and high dnase B. Can this be related to headaches/meningitis symptoms? Also, has anyone had a lumbar puncture? How bad is it? I'm really scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tu4four Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 My daughter is schedes for a lumbar puncture next week. She will be sedated. Could you ask for some level of sedation? I've never had one, but the nurse compared it to an epidural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMC Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Our DS15 is getting one right now, I will ask him this afternoon when I see him around 3:30 how it was. They gave him a valium pill to hopefully calm his tics down. I had one when I was 7, stung like a bee is about all I remember...that was back in the70's, when they didn't numb you or give you valium.
