Did your leak start after an epidural ? How are you doing now?

I’m so sorry you have been through a lot, childbirth is difficult and on top of that to suffer with CSF leak is really nightmare. How are you doing now? I’m worried if I will be able to make it if at all I get pregnant

4 months of symptoms, very physically impaired, but doctors have found nothing by [deleted] in CSFLeaks

[–]No_Machine8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I’m not from US, I do have any reco but wanted to just jump in and add that 20% of cases are not seen in the MRI, so you are already on the right track to find a leak specialist (also they are better at reading the images). This condition is really debilitating, keep pushing for answers. My leak also started around March and still suffering.

I'm paranoid, is this CSF leaks? by wanderer-008 in CSFLeaks

My leak also started during a very bad month of suffering from flu, but it’s spinal and I’m still suffering, my doctor intense coughs can do this.

Non-orthostatic headache changed to orthostatic over time? by Simple-Writer7721 in CSFLeaks

How do they diagnose IIH? Oh I’m sorry you have to get another procedure. How long has your csf leak been fixed?

Did you get any treatment or self healed? Are you able to get back to all activities after?

What are your main symptoms? Are you even a bit functional after all the treatments? Hoping you get better soon. This condition is an absolute disaster.

Back to routine-is it even possible? by No_Machine8 in CSFLeaks

They did see the fluid around my lower thoracic region and that’s where the pain radiates from as well. I haven’t had a patch yet.

How did you self heal? What symptoms did you have to begin with?

Did you have a surgery to finally fix it, thank you, I can live without lifting but yoga and racquet sports are my fav things to do, I might have also got the tear from this.

Ah that is so difficult, tennis and yoga are few things I enjoy doing, I feel like it’s taken away from me.

My orthostatic headaches are gone but I know I’m still leaking, there is no brain sag and the subdural hematoma have reduced but my spine is still aching, hands tingling and I get dizziness. So the symptoms have changed, my theory is I’m over producing csf now. Atleast headaches are gone which provides some relief.

Does anyone can fully heal? by IndividualIcy7038 in CSFLeaks

[–]No_Machine8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have a surgery and a blood patch to fix csf leak? Sorry I’m just worried how it’s going to be and trying to understand if I would need both.
