Hi again... I got the blood patch last thursday for a chronic long term spontaneous spinal fluid leak, it worked wonderful!! Until...the flat, lay in the back seat car ride home friday afternoon, when it came off....please pray that my doctor will order another one and that the doctor (who did the first one) will do a second one... I got an ambulance ride saturday night to the ER for the pain, I started full back spasms and tremors and the other 4 migraines I am having kicked in as well. I am now alternating valium and vicodin and only sleep 2 hours at a time, still waking up in pain...this coming from a woman who takes 25 mg of benadryl and it knocks me out.... In doing research it states that spontaneous spinal fluid leaks sometimes require 2 or even 3 blood patches...I'm tired and just want to be me again. Please, add me to your prayers. And thank you! Amy
