Hi and thanks for being here. I was recently diagnosed with spontaneous cranial CSF leak. Symptoms, which have persisted for several months: clear drainage from right nostril, daily headache (4 to 6 on a 10-scale). I was referred by ENT to neurosurgeons who have scheduled me for brain surgery to plug the leak. The diagnosis and recommended surgical treatment are a lot for me to process, so I'm not surprised if I am experiencing some anxiety and depression. But I am also soooooooooooo tired all the time--even before the diagnosis. Very little motivation or energy to do even simple things like laundry or washing dishes. Could this be a symptom of the CSF leak? A lay person on another message board suggested that b/c my body has to work harder to produce the spinal fluid I am losing 24/7 from my nose, it can lead to fatigue. I am grateful for any feedback.
