CSF leak: Mayo Clinic waitlist for myelogram or do locally?

@cholloway hi I am self referred patient for an evaluation. I am in hopes the neurologists will confirm my suspicions of a csf leak. I have gone through every treatment for chronic migraines including an occipital neuralgia surgery. I have only gotten worse. I am now confined to bed. I will be flying to Jacksonville fl for this with no records or Dr referral . What do you think my chances will be?

Not optimal, it is better to bring recent tests with you. He needs information to understand what you have had done. Do you have an appointment? Most gifted doctors have a waiting list, sometimes it takes a month or two to get on their calendars. I know your frustration but, if you want a good outcome make sure that you will be seen, or else it is a wasted trip. Ask what you should bring and will you be seen. Get on his calendar and go prepared, I think you will have a better outcome.
