I have had 6 and might be having another. It would be for a CSF leak. Can anyone tell me that it ha worked for them. My first ond many years ago worked after 5 weeks, but the headache came back in 2 years. I am talking a constant, nagging headache all day/all the time with dizziness. Help!

@mikaylar My husband had to have a blood patch after they did a spinal tap. I came into his room and was told he had just gotten up to go to the restroom. Absolute no-no after a spinal tap. I was furious. Sure enough, he started having dizziness and a blinding headache. The doctor discharged him saying he had the flu. This was years ago, so no connection to Covid. I told him there was no way that was the problem. No one would listen. After he was home less than 24 hours, the doctor called apologizing. He said he would make it right. I told him he would never touch my husband again. We then went back for the blood patch. That doctor listened and knew what was wrong right away. It definitely worked for him, but the, we knew the source. I sure hope you get help. Has anyone looked into possible Meniere's Disease ?

@mikaylar I have similar, have you been able to figure this out. I am investigating IJV from vascular eagles or other venous congestion. My ENT is at Jefferson, Cognetti.
