Red pill, blue pill?
Oh man, I wish I could take pictures of this. Jaime's getting prepped for an EEG, which consists of cleaning his head and then sticking a couple dozen wires to it. It looks freaky. And kind of awesome. So many weird medical things I'm learning about...
Oh! By the way! Normal human pressure of the CSF is about 20 mm Hg. The patient in that study who was diagnosed with IIH was just over 40 mm Hg. Jaime's reading at the lumbar puncture today? 70 mm Hg. For crying out loud. His headaches have come back some since then, but they switched him over to Tramadol, and it seems to be doing the trick at the moment. Hooray!
... Pfffft, rainbow wires all over his head. This is great.
