		<description>Maybe if we could get you on the space station and reduce the air pressure there so as to compensate for reduced spinal pressure?  Perhaps you could take online classes for a semester up there and catch a break.

Maybe you could get the dye in again and be put in a barometric chamber like they had at St. Pauls for a couple of hours then taken out and scanned?  The pressure from the chamber on your whole body  including your spinal cavity ought to to squeeze out some dye if you have a slow leak.

Brainstorming for you since your brain hurts.  Did you maybe just simply strain your brain?  Like lifting something too heavy strains your back, did you think too hard or heavy and strain your brain?  Maybe a thinking truss would help, have you tried wrapping tensor bandages tight around your head before you think heavy thoughts?  A brain truss!  You must think only simple thoughts unless you are wearing one!

See, there are three good theories to start checking out, we have only begun to think stuff up.

Now seriously at last, hope you get some real food for thanksgiving, here in New Orleans we eat well as you certainly know.  Had a foot long all dressed shrimp poboy for dinner this evening.</description>

		<description>Oh honey, I completely, COMPLETELY get it. After every blood test, MRI, ABC test, etc, I get my hopes up thinking they&#039;ll finally figure out what&#039;s wrong. And everything comes back fine. It&#039;s maddening. It makes me wonder if I&#039;m crazy.

You&#039;re not crazy. I&#039;m not crazy. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. I wish I had something better to say, but that&#039;s all I&#039;ve got. Hugs and love.</description>

		<description>There is obviously a problem. It just sucks that the cause isn&#039;t obvious. But we&#039;ll just have to hold you up until the smart people figure it out.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a troubleshooter like lceel, and here&#039;s my take: There is the illness and there is the treatment. Just because you don&#039;t have a scan-visible leak, it doesn&#039;t follow you won&#039;t get the treatment.

I see it as a car radiator. Mechanics check your radiator to see if there&#039;s a leak. &quot;No leak, they say.&quot; &quot;But I keep losing fluid,&quot; you say. &quot;Well, it must be a pinpoint leak. Here&#039;s some stuff to thicken up your fluids.&quot;

You still have the low pressure, right? If you had an obvious leak, that might mean immediate surgery, and this just means that take less extreme measures. They can&#039;t fix the problem, but they can still give you symptomic treatment.

I have found that I can research every corner of the internet to see, say, why my privates are oozing blood, and I find nothing, the ob-gyn says &quot;I have no idea. Try this cream,&quot; and I&#039;m fixed. Didn&#039;t need the cause to provide symptomatic treatment.</description>

		<description>Oh crap. Sucky, sucky, mega-ass sucky.  I can&#039;t even imagine the despair you are feeling. All I can do is offer hope for you during this time when you are depleted.  And totally unsolicited...but is there any way you can call Johns Hopkins and refer yourself to their neurology/neurosurgery? They are #1 in both these areas and I feel like these people could be ones who WILL NOT STOP until there is an answer. They are relentless in their work and research.  I&#039;ve had a very good experience their with their Arthritis center (referred myself, ended up seeing the head of the center), after going through a couple of other docs who couldn&#039;t actually identify my problem or even relieve my symptoms without great risk vs benefit. Without Hopkins, I&#039;d be in a very bad, painful place right now. OK, off my unsolicited soapbox. And hugs from Maryland.</description>
