I am in a similar position to where you were - I've had two blood patches with some success, but I still have a leak and symptoms (though not consistently). I'm in the process of figuring out next steps and have been in touch with Dr. Schievink - I'm getting him my scans/history now. My question to you is: did the blood patches you had prior to the glue provide any relief? How did you decide it was time to do glue (vs. additional blood patches)?
