This is from him a couple years ago. I think it was the complaint of head pressure that got this test ordered. Accutane can cause increased intracranial pressure as a rare side effect.
Idk, it did seem a little extreme for what could be a headache complaint.
He went on a course of prednisone after being diagnosed with migraines, but said it ended up making him feel worse.
“I just got my results from my Lumbar Puncture procedure and luckily (or perhaps unluckily) they did not find anything wrong with the cerebrospinal fluids. It’s at least some peace of mind, but back at zero—especially considering the fact the procedure caused leakage days later and I needed to go back to the ER to get a blood patch to seal it up (not fun!). I have a follow-up appointment with my neurologist on Monday, but over the phone he did mention tre possibility of Prednisone. I’ve seen it mentioned on here a couple of times. Have any of you taken it? Thoughts? The potential side effects of this drug seem like a whole other burden to bear.”
“My Neurologist ordered the exam, I didn’t request it. Sadly, everything came back normal. The procedure itself wasn’t that bad, it was the spinal leakage that occurred days later that required me to go to the ER and get a blood patch to seal it up that was the real bitch ( headaches were 10 x worse). I have a follow-up with the neurologist on Monday. I’ll keep you guys updated.”
