Needles are one thing I can't look at. That and knives going into skin. I can get needles, but I won't look, and I can't look at anyone else getting it. The whole cutting skin thing is just odd for me. I can't see it go in, it freaks me out :P. That is one crazy needle. I'd be quite nervous getting one of those.

thought to add in a bit of more info there....

We know what its for because we've seen a tad bit of House :P

There are different reasons for performing a LP.
Some reasons include diagnosis of diseases and some are to relive pressure on the brain from a build up og spinal fluid.

Sounds like something I had called Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH)/benign intracranial hypertension (BIH)/pseudotumor cerebri (PTC)

Povidone-iodine to be exact.
It felt really really cold when they put it on.

RE: Lumbar Puncture
i had one a few weeks ago ... i was terrified because i wasnt told what a lumbar puncture was ... i was told they were going to insert a needle to remove some fluid to test for a bleed on my brain .... i actually thought they were going to stick a needle into my brain to draw the fluid :/
but they took the fluid to test for a brain hemorhage or meningitis... turned out i have meningitis and not the hemorhage thank goodness.
not a pleasant experience at all though

Oh wow becca-boots-93,

that doesn't sound like a happy experience at all. Is your meningitis being treated and showing positive results?

It's treatable but still quite dangerous.. an experience you probably won't forget for the rest of your life.

Fortunately, it isn't your time to go yet. :) I'm glad you have been diagnosed in time.
