Hey there, it's me, Jen! Today, I'm gonna be talking about my CT myelogram recovery journey with you.

As many of you know, I underwent two CT myelograms, 24 hours apart, to assess a potential CSF Venus fistula. And I’m pretty sure you’re all curious to know how the recovery period went and how long did it take. So, in this video, I'll dive into what it was like on the day of the CT myelogram procedure, how I felt immediately afterward, and the days that followed.

To be honest with you, my CT myelogram experience was a bit of a rollercoaster, from the procedure day to the recovery process, and I want to give you a firsthand account of it all.

Let’s talk about managing post-procedure nausea, soreness, and even the rebound high-pressure headache. Plus, I'll also share some insights on how my CT myelogram recovery was impacted by getting a fibrin patch and dealing with a head cold shortly after the procedure.

If you're preparing for this procedure, know someone who’ll be going through the same procedure, or just curious about what to expect after a CT myelogram, this video is for you!

Don't forget to leave any questions or comments below (‘cause I DO read all of them wink ), and let's get through this together.
