Hi Glen,

Hope you are still here in the group - and that you are doing well! I had a tap today and they withdrew 46 cc of fluid - the most I've ever had drained before is 30 - and I thought that was a lot at the time - the dr said today he just kept draining because he coudn't get the pressure to come down - and I actually feel pretty good at present - just was wondering if you could tell me this: Is there a correlation between the amount of fluid  removed to the opening pressure? He said mine was at 27 - but I'm wondering since there was so much fluid to drain to get it down to the 8 opening pressure that seems to work best for me if perhaps he had an inaccurate opening pressure? For example - if he left me at an 8 - would that mean my pressure was at 54? 8 + 46cc - I don't think that is the way it works but am very curious as to why there would be so much fluid to drain -

Thanks,

Denia
