thanks re headache/spinal tap

[ForumGal]

Dear all,
Thanks very much for input regarding an acute headache after a spinal
tap. Most of you suggested hypericum and ledum. One person described her mom's
headaches after spinal taps for fluid retention on the optic nerve, which is
exactly what's going on with my friend. I'll try and get him to take
hypericum and if that doesn't work, ledum (he's a skeptic, but he's in a lot of pain
so he probably will). Again, many thanks.
