Hello everybody. My name is Nicole. I had a headache every day since I was 16. I am now 25 years old and my condition has just been found out this past March. I've been on a heavy dose of narcotics every single day for the last five years. I work a couple hours only a couple days a week. After at least 100 other doctor, chiropractor, pain specialists, endocrinologist, and neurologist visits near my house, I still was told nothing was wrong with me. I went to Mayo Clinic in March and they found a spontaneous spinal fluid leak that every body else missed. I've been having many procedures since March to try to locate the exact location. Blood patches have all failed as my condition is so far gone. I have spinal surgery scheduled in September to hopefully fix it. If anyone has experienced and overcame it I would love to hear your story.
