So I got my date! Pseudo Tumor Cerbrii???

I got my surgery date, December 10th! And I am so excited, but I am also very nervous of the pain that is going to come with it. I don't know if I should get the epidural or not, I am really afraid of the headaches that might come with it after surgery. I have Pseudo Tumor Cerbrii and when I had to go and get a spinal tap I had the most awful migraine I have ever experienced (it was the worst pain I have ever been in, it was so bad I could not even stand up for almost a week, I was fine as long as I was laying flat.) and it lasted for an entire week, it was a side effect of the spinal tap. And I am afraid that if I get the epidural I might have the same thing happen all over again, which would make recovery very difficult. But then again I am also afraid of the pain w/o the epidural... so I am kind of torn on what to do. I know my condition is kind of uncommon, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone else has Pseudo Tumor, I would love to talk to you too.
