Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I don't post here much, but I read all the posts on a daily basis and find it such a comfort to know that I am not alone in my battle with this dreadful condition. I have a question about a symptom I have never seen mentioned here. This past weekend my family and I attended a wedding out of town. Although I did everything I could to take care of myself, I still ended up having a very tough day and was in a lot of pain by the time we turned out the lights in the hotel room for the night. I was able to sleep fairly well through the night, in fact I overslept in the morning, right through breakfast and the noise of sharing one room with our three children. When I finally awoke, my entire family was aghast at my appearance, my entire face was swollen with both of my eyes swollen almost completely shut. I have no idea what would have caused this. I do not currently have any sinus problems which would be my first thought especially since when I stood up my nose started draining clear fluid that was definitely NOT snot (sorry for being kinda icky) The only thing I can think of is I have read where people have had CSF leakage through the nose, but why would my eyes and everything be so swollen? I am totally at a loss here. I mean, I can't imagine that big of a pocket of CSF buildup. I only wish I'd had the forethought to have my husband take a picture so I could send it to my doctor. What do you guys think?... just looking for some feedback, Thanks a bunch Cecilia French 9 mm ACM cervical fusion C3/4 thru C6/7 not decompressed (yet) spina bifida occulta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
