Can’t wait - best conference of the year for leak patients. CSF Leaks profoundly affect the brain, taking away countless abilities and the very essence of what makes a person uniquely themselves. The loss of self is DEVASTATING!

By the time a disabled persin who was working gets to the stage where they can't carry on in their job... It's already a long time after they were too unwell to work. Trust me, we carry on far longer than we should, and do everything possible to carry on.

Thankfully we’re moving past the adage that SIH is "just a headache". SIH is SEVERELY DISABLING, w/ symptoms “... ranging from headache and dizziness to dementia and even movement disorders." QOL in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It’s very telling that when someone with our condition chooses to go, there’s: 1. a collective nod of understanding 2. a quiet reverence for how hopeless things had to have gotten 3. a hope that we ourselves don’t reach that point. CSF Leak community just lost another one.💔

Leaking is pure torture, & only leakers can truly comprehend the magnitude of suffering. Yes, sealing is a mandatory goal, but not the only goal. Who’s caring for us while we leak & who’s looked 20 years down the road or done autopsies on our damaged brains? RIP dear leaker.

90+% of patients we see with infratentorial superficial siderosis have an underlying spinal CSF leak. This week we saw two other causes: a IVth ventricular ependymoma (postop dural thickening from overdraining shunt) and bilateral jugular vein occlusion ⁦@LivingwithSS⁩ ⁦

CSF Leaks in a nutshell. Some have hours of up time, others have just a few minutes - enough to brush their teeth while sitting on the toilet - before becoming unimaginably ill and staggering back to bed with a vomit bag.

Now I finally understand why in some cases of SIH with SLEC I was confused about the membranes surrounding the spinal cord: there are new ones! 🤦🏼‍♂️ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37747369/
