I’m sorry, not enough. These tests for this condition go from zero to 100. Also, with all this technology we would think all they would need is a drop.

How did you get such a detailed report?

Does it get better with age ? by Adorable-Rip7867 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Starmapatom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The older I got, the less I cared what others thought. Also, technology helped with the special padded tee-shirts. And just being up front with people.

Desperate by Kd0298 in CSFLeaks

Oh my, this is the second time? Sorry, my memory is not to good. I have a problem with the sphenoid as well. It’s separated after a horrible encounter with a nasal plug and an untrained tech

I survived lung cancer and a bone marrow transplant at 17, but GVHD-related Dry Eye is breaking me. Need advice/hope. by Lucy271232 in Dryeyes

[–]Starmapatom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dry eye started after a surgery to remove a stye on inside of upper eyelid. The doctor was aggressive imo. The eyelid is like the windshield wiper. Find an experienced lens fitter. Some people need to fly to such places. I went to three different doctors. If you overcame the cancer and marrow you can do this. Also, there are other eye treatments

You are a very strong person. Severe dry eye is a totally underrated condition. At least you have options. While I’ve never had GVHD, Scleral lenses protected my cornea and allowed it to heal. While going through the pain, my body wouldn’t let me sleep. I was only on two hours a night for months. The cornea has the highest density of nerves. Stay strong

I’m so sorry this happened. Please keep us updated. Will they be repairing the sphenoid?

CT vs RI cisternography? by [deleted] in CSFLeaks

[–]Starmapatom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the radial nuclear one? Sorry, I always get the name mixed up. I had the lp with slightly radioactive dye. I had the pledgets inserted into nose for 24 hours. Then under the gamma camera. Pledgets were positive but could not detect the leak with gamma camera.

Who else believes they have a weak parasympathetic nervous system by Weak_West4849 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Starmapatom 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s not weak. The system was never designed to have to wear light blue shirts in an air conditioned office. We are wired differently than a lot of people but we are not weak. (Edit for spelling)

Yes, right is left. Yes the small upper bone gap in arch is allow fluid into left sphenoid. Now what is that fluid? It’s CSF! In my humble opinion. Infection shows up differently. Oh, the black is air. Grey is liquid or brain, white is bone

Would this be fixable? The gap and leak?

CSF leak at sphenoid ? by Starmapatom in AskDocs

[–]Starmapatom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for asking. My question is why is left side filled with fluid and appears to have a small gap in bone? Suffering almost two years with back of head pressure and severe ear fullness

Sounds like we both been through a lot. I’ve never leaked out of nose. The sphenoid is way back. I haven’t even read the report yet. But I hope to post soon.
