Hi Sabrina,

I was in a car accident in August. The kid driving was distracted, and I was sitting still at a red light. He must have been going about 35-40 and I was in my van, so the car did not get damaged much, but there wasn't much shock absorption either.

I have had all the MRIs and CTs and they have shown nothing. I have no pain when I lay down, but about 30 minutes after I get up, the pain comes creeping in. It is a pressure in my head and a dull ache in the base of the skull. My neurologist is saying because the pain goes away when I lay down that it may be a CSF leak, but my ENT says no way. I don't know what to think.

I am so exhausted and it has only been 2 months. I have 5 kids at home - I homeschool them, and I have had to get almost full time babysitting help. We are really running out of money, and I don't know how much longer I can do this.

So, you are definitely not alone. I pray that you and I both find some good answers and some real help soon.

Susan
