I am a 46 yr old woman and i started having reacuring headaches in feb,2007,i went to the optitions and was given clean bill of health for my eyes,my headaches came and went,then in may 2007 i had severe migraine headache i spent 3 days in dark room, i went back to work and within a hour of working the migraine headache was so intent and severe that i collapsed at work, i went to the emergency Dr's he diagnosed an inner ear infection,the next day i visited my own GP and he put me in touch with a nurologist,i had an MRI scan and he diagnosed SIH as i have never suffered with migraine before, since then i have had two lumber punctures, MRI's with contrast dye,caffine infusion, blood patch,isatope cisternogram, with no outcome i have just had a ct mylogram with MRI scan and am awaiting the results of this test.I still have migraine like headaces on a daily basis when i am standing or moving around i have ringing in left ear, feeling of nausea, and constantly feel the room is swaying and spinning when eyes closed, and need to wear sunglasses in daylight, when headache at worst it feels like my brain is being pushed down into my neck which then makes neck feel stiff. Hopefully the tear will be found soon and i can get back to normal in the last 10 months i have lost my job and am now on benefits as i can not work i feel phisically dissabled by this illness
