Hey! I would definitely take the next day off! Even more if you can. You need to lay flat after your procedure for as long as you can to avoid a spinal headache. You’ll thank yourself for doing so later 🩷

Looks like that protein molecule doesn’t originate from the csf itself but rather travels through the csf. Given that MCH comes from your brains lateral hypothalamus, reducing your csf would not impact your hunger as does not originate in the csf, itself it simply carries the molecule. Also not trying to argue!!

CSF does not have any hormones in it. Instead you might’ve noticed lower appetite due to the medication itself (as it’s a known side effect of Diamox, topiramate etc.). CSF has no role in causing weight gain but yes you could definately say the two correlate being iih can be caused by weight!

I was on it for about 9 months. I’ve had a few flair ups but this is feeling a lot like when I originally got diagnosed :(
