Jessie's spinal pressure was 42. It is supposed to be about 15-18.
Although a rare side effect atra can cause increase in production of cerebral spinal fluid.
They took off 16cc of fluid. Dr Schore said there's a limit to how much you can take off and he said that her body will make more in 2-3 hours. Now that we know what's causing the headaches we can combat them with medicine to decrease her pressure. She was taking a medicine called Diamox to do just that but apparently she's not taking enough of it. He tripled her dose per day and may increase it further depending on how she does. But the good news is that we definitely know what the problem is and now we can fix it!!
