I had suregery for a discectomy in nov 2004. I have had a CFS leak 2 days after my surgery. I was sent home the same day as my surgery as they had no hospital beds. Two days latter I was sent back to emergency room, tested positive for CSF leak. I layed in emergency room 2 days with no meals, had to hobble to the rest room. It is now 2008. I think the leak was never "fixed" and I can't get Kaiser HMO to take me seriously. I wake up with migrains, feel nausea, lower back feels like it is on fire at times. I now suffer from dizziness, sinus trouble, sleep apnea, my head and neck make "crakling" noises when I move, had 2 sezures at home alone. Also numerous episodes of the room spinning when I open my eyes. I need help and can't get taken seriously. I am now on disability.
