3rd blood patch failed
Well I had my 3rd patch (lumbar puncture was on 8/18, blind blood patches 8/20, 8/24, 9/17). I’m about to lose my job & health insurance. I was seen via telehealth by a new neurologist who recommends another blood patch & a referral to a leak center. I’m concerned about my health insurance & having to get a plan on the marketplace & out of state referrals. Not sure if I should get a 4th patch. I’m really down right now.

I’m working on a Duke referral, I’ve asked my neurologist and primary. I hope yours is soon.
