Hello, all. I was just recently diagnosed with my second spinal leak in 7 years. With the first leak, I was in the hospital for an entire month, because doctors couldn't figure out what it was. I couldn't raise my head without throwing up. When they finally figured it out, they administered a high dose of steroids intravenously. That did the trick for almost 8 years up until a week ago. My head started hurting at work, which I didn't think much about. Halfway through my day, it became extremely difficult to sit/stand. I went home early and laid down, which immediately relieved the headache. A few days later, it still wasn't getting any better, so I decided to go to the ER. The neurologist strongly felt that it was a migraine, but after having a leak before, I knew better. I practically had to bed for an MRI, which no surprise, showed a leak. I had two blood patches done and was discharged a few hours later. I still have a headache and my neck is stiff, but not as bad as it was. I believe I may have a connective tissue disorder called Marfan Syndrome and that's why I've had two spontaneous spinal leaks. Does anyone know of any supplements that strengthen connective tissue?
