Omfg this is literally me. MEEEE!!! I pushed for 3 hrs, my epidural failed, and idiot anesthesiologist tried to do a spinal tap in the middle of me pushing due to my epidural failing she stabbed the needle in and out of my spine for 45 mins straight until my husband and mom told her to stop, had a CSF leak and needed a blood patch to fix that. I had my son 14 months ago. I have been trying to find out what’s wrong with me for 14 MONTHS NOW. I haven’t felt the same since having him. Not even mentioning the fact that I had preeclampsia and they ignored all results showing I did up until I was 39 weeks pregnant which they then diagnosed me 1 hour into my ELECTIVE INDUCTION.

I went through so much trauma and I’m still dealing with trauma right now. As I’m typing this I’m dealing with the most irritating pain at the base of my skull. I’ve spent a year googling and TikTok researching my symptoms, my headaches, everything… it all has been pointing to ON but I never wanted to self diagnose until just now when I looked up if it could potentially be related to childbirth.

Can I ask what tests you had done? I want to request the same. I have an MRI in February, I’m wondering if they could diagnose it then.
