My late son had a misplaced lumbar drain after brain surgery. We weren't home for 2 days, and he was so sick
After the crisis, he took 3 diamox a day. Extra doses if he had to fly.

I have never heard of this but may talk to my new neurologist about it

I think you can do a test for fluid pressure my neurologist had me do one so it is a cause of headaches again worth a try.

I heard from someone who just had one for MS, they aren’t nice & cause a big headache. You have to lie flat on your back for 6hours while the fluid regenerates.
