California, specficially UCSF and Cedars sinai are the hubs for this. I have a ridic long history, so if you have any specific questions let me know.

I got a spontaneous leak in April, and had 3 blood patches to repair it. I have been feeling better (for the most part), but a recent MRI showed that I still have fluid pooling in my T2-T6 region. We don't know if it just hasn't reabsorbed, or if there is still a leak. Seems weird that I'm not having the killer headaches anymore if I am still leaking. Tell me more about your situation. 7 years? How have you known? How have you felt? Thanks!
