I was wondering if there was anyone else like me
Every so often (for no reason i can think of) my spinal fluid decides to leak out of my spine and dissappear of into my blood. This leaves low pressure in the fluid around my brain, severe headaches, intollerance to light and every time i move my head i am sick. Its relieved slightly if i lay very flat and very still.

Its happened 4 times in 3 years so far and every time i end up in hospital, they fix it but then it happens again. They dont know why it happens but dont really want to look for a cause, becuase they can fix it when it happens.

Does anyone else suffer from this?

So far they arent linking it to my spinal injury but i cant help think they are related.
