Anyone else dealing with a spinal headache, the result of a spontaneous
csf leak? Just interested in what treatment you are doing. I'm 9 months
into a spinal headache that has been resistent to treatment.

We've tried a couple of blood patches but the leak is so diffuse it
covers the entire thoracic region, so the thinking is that it is one
big leak.

Scheduled for another blood patch next week, so i'm hoping it comes
good. I have had a reduction in pain since the last blood patch, but
the pain was excruciating to begin with. I'm not yet at the total
functioning stage, enough to be "normal".

Wish me luck for next week!

Can they give you a clotting agent prior to your blood patch? I had to
have DDAVP prior to mine, and I also doubled the horizontal time after
the procedure.

I feel for you. I had wiped the memory of my long ago spinal headache
from my memory, it was so awful. I hope you get some relief and soon.
