[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 205104, member: 1991"] I didn't mean to seem to belittle the intensity of a low CSF headache - just that it should be transient. I had a myelogram in hospital about 22 years ago, it was horrendous. The headache it left me with was alleged to be a low CSF one, but it lasted for several weeks. Plus, I felt it coming on as the dye worked its way up my spine, I could feel it. I'm sure that one was a reaction to the contrast medium. I also don't want to belittle just how bad a headache can be, with a fever. Especially a fever related to a kidney infection - you have toxins in the bloodstream, you feel awful, it's just ghastly. With a kidney infection, you feel more achey than usual, with a fever. It's a kind of "I have to keep stretching" kind of fever, you keep wanting to move, to stretch yourself and ease the feeling of tiredness and stiffness, but it won't go away. And the feeling of heaviness in your back - it's the only time I've ever felt it, it's classic for kidney problems, I found. The combination of these sensations and yuk feelings - I learned to recognise kidney infection even before the fever really hit. My mother also saw the signs of me beginning to want to keep stretching - she's the one who pointed it out to me, I don't think it's in the textbooks. So she had it too, when she had her own kidney infections. I had a congenital kidney problem which we think was hereditary, we think my mother had it too but never needed the surgery I had.
