Feb. 08 for me as well, and the spinal tap
(also called lumbar puncture) sounds a lot
worse than it actually is. You'll feel the
freezing needle (not painful at all). I
didn't feel anything beyond that, and was
laughing/joking with my neuro, who made me
feel at ease throughout the entire
procedure.
