Leak: I do not believe that the cisternogram will cause you any problems if the doctor feels it is now it is necessary I would suggest you go ahead and have it done

Sinuses caused meningitis. Recovered. Get little drips when i tilt head. Often still feel aches/fatigue. Could be csf leak making me still feel sick?
