Hello, your symptoms sound like a rare condition that is curable though. It is definitely misdiagnosed in most patients. It is called Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak (CSF) - medical condition caused by a small tear or hole in the outer membrane that contains the fluid surrounding the spinal cord and brain. In many cases it heals on its own with lots of bed rest and high fluids intake. Often it is necessary blood patching or surgical sealant - fibrin glue to be applied. Neurosugery may help in more complicated CSF cases.
