None of the treatments ever worked. I treat at Jefferson Headache Center in Philadelphia. I just had my 5th blood patch. Getting another one soon for a diagnosis. Might be blood leaking into my veins in my spine. A doctor from Johns Hopkins has done 3 of my blood patches at Jefferson. He is going back to Johns Hopkins soon so I have to move on this. I am absolutely miserable for 3 years every single day. Thanks for the tips. I'll check it out.

Good to hear that you're actively pursuing diagnosis with reputable facilities. I remember what it's like to live in that world of uncertainty. Keep persevering, you'll get there, hopefully sooner than later with a plan for relief.

If time keeps ticking and you don't get firm answers, keep PRC in mind.

I'm curious how your final blood patch will turn out. My fingers are crossed. Do you mind keeping me posted?
