Default Spinal leak?

I had encephalitis last year and have yet to completely recover. Since then I have had 5 spinal taps 8 MRIs, 4 CT scans, along with other numerous test. Everything is coming up normal and the doctors have all but given up on me. My symptoms are fatigue, weakness in arms and legs, headaches that are better when I'm laying down, draining in my ear, eyes shaking (seizure like but can't physically see it and doesn't show up on EEGs),stiffness in the neck, nausea, and pain when pressure is applied to lower back. I believe that is everything I forget sometimes cause there is so much. But the my symptoms come and go, one second I'll be fine the next I can't move from the pain. There are days when nothing's wrong at all. The doctors think I'm faking to get attention but I'm not, I also got depression from the encephalitis so they like to blame the depression but I know it's not that either. Reading online it sounds like a spinal leak and I was wondering if anybody had any other ideas. I'm planning to head off to college fall of 2013 and would love to have my life back to normal by then. If anybody can help I would really appreciate it.
