I had an epidural that lead to a CSF leak. I had one patch that didn't work. I have everything from double vision to hearing loss. It even caused one little parking lot accident. Every doctor I've seen except one litterally won't treat me. (The CSF leak was caused by a seriously botched epidural that caused an anesthetic toxicity that almost killed me). No one will run a test, because it will emplicate the guy who did it. (Although - I'm not even suing!!!) If your CSF leak was caused by someone you won't get help in state, you'll have to go out of state. I did see one honest neurologist that told me to go to the Mayo clinic. You may want to look at that. Good Luck!
