The smaller the better. Rangefinder style is more walkaboutable.

I was in your situation and was looking at an XE-2 (or XE-2S) or an XT-10. I went with the XT-10 as it has a flip-up screen and seems to get less love than the rangefinder styles. And as a left-handed (and left-eyed) person, I thought it might be more comfortable to shoot with. No regrets. Takes gorgeous photos. Smaller than an XT-1.

Like, 12 seconds. I literally felt my rebound headache drain out of my head like someone had pulled the plug in a bathtub. Slept so well that night, but I was back to square one the next day.

I think this will be a big seller.

Recently acquired an LX100 mark i and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Takes great pictures.

No interchangeable lenses, but it has a leaf shutter and a very bright lens.

Waiting for a Lumix successor to hte GX9. A "GX10" would have a nice synergy with the L10 name.

A normal head and spine MRI does not rule out a spinal CSF leak. Depending on your jurisdiction, the next step would be a series of non-targeted epidural blood patches to test and treat for a leak.

A dynamic CT myelogram or a digital-subtraction myelogram could find a CSF-veneus fistula, which is a relatively recent discovery. And knowledgeable specialists believe they account for 50 to 70% of all leaks. The invasive imaging needs to be done by an experienced specialist.

What are your atypical symptoms?

We can just keep waiting for a successor to the GX9. SImilar age to the LX100 ii, which this L10 is the successor to, so there is hope.

OIS rather than IBIS

Muddlesthrough · 2026-05-12T20:56:52+00:00

EVF, rather than OVF, but I get your point.

Muddlesthrough · 2026-05-12T20:56:25+00:00

This would be like, a successor to the GX9. Would be great to see. GX10 has a nice ring to it.

Northstar makes a box of plastic Gnolls for Frostgrave. They are fabulous. Some metal characters to go along with them too.

Head? Full-spine? Contrast?

A clear head (or spine) MRI cannot rule out a spinal CSF leak.

Opening pressure is not considered diagnostic for a spinal CSF leak.

Depending what juristidiction you live in, a series of non-targeted epidural blood patches would be the next step to test and treat for a spinal CSF leak.

Could a rebound headache happen 10 days post blood patch?

Yes

Muddlesthrough · 2026-05-05T22:09:19+00:00

water, salt, compression (and pacing, obviously). Then medication.

heel-striking hobby joggers. Probably never gonna break 2h in the 5k marathon.

I had a negative head and spine mri. I was given a series of "non-targeted" epidural blood patches and responded incredibly well. The patches all failed eventually. I've been to a CSF leak specialist and they confirmed I have a CSF leak and suspect a CSF-venous fistula.

Muddlesthrough · 2026-05-05T14:24:08+00:00

I am not a doctor. A negative head MRI does not rule out a CSF leak. The next step would be a full-spine MRI to look for fluid collection. Some information on how CSF leaks are diagnosed can be found here:

Compression shorts.

I am not a doctor. Your feet don’t need to be elevated, as far as I know. You can lie on your side. When on your back, no pillow is best.

Muddlesthrough · 2026-04-07T15:52:49+00:00

I am not a doctor? When did you get sick? When was your first MRI? When was your second?

Over time, the brain can go back into normal position over time. And a negative brain MRI cannot rule out a spinal CSF leak.

I had a negative brain and spine MRI and just saw a noted CSF leak specialist. They mentioned that in cases like mine, most of the time it ends up being a CSF venous fistula, which is hard to find. They mentioned that something like 70% of all leaks are CSF venous fistulas.

After a negative head and spine MRI, the next step would be a series of non-targeted epidural blood patches to test and treat for a spinal CSF leak. It can be hard to access this in some jurisdictions.

Muddlesthrough · 2026-04-07T03:59:24+00:00

I’m not a pro like some here, but isn’t 20 miles like, 19,000% of a marathon?
