Since I reached my home pregnancy test quota for the week, I needed something else to focus on.Luckily, clear fluid is streaming out my nose.
"Oh, you have a cold", you may be thinking.
Oh, no. I have a cerebrospinal fluid leak. I have no cold symptoms. Therefore, I must be leaking spinal fluid out my nose, because everything I know, I learned on Grey's Anatomy.
Was your first thought really "you have a cold"? Because my first thought really was "OH MY GOD, THERE GOES MY SPINAL FLUID!!!"
That's not normal, is it. Come on, you can tell me.
After three phone calls and way too much internet research and two old episodes of Grey's Anatomy (thank you, abc.com) and some champagne to dull my pain, my next thought was, "This is crazy. I must be some kind of hypochondriac".
"OH MY GOD, I'M A HYPOCHONDRIAC!!!"
When your biggest battles are with yourself, you just can't win.

It's spinal fluid:)
I knew I could count on you, Steph.

I think it's your sanity leaking out your nose, but I have a history of giving very bad medical advice, so do NOT listen to me.
You want to know what my first thought was?
OMG she's pregnant ;)
Immune system lowered and all that good stuff.

Reason is slowly kicking in and I am now wondering if it may be some allergy to the smoke that's everywhere from the wild fires. At least everywhere around Atlanta...
I knew someone that had CSF leaking out. She didn't feel well at all.
I hope it's just a cold but I agree with jackie that it could be your sanity too. LOL
It's your sanity Mary. Who knew it leaked out in clear fluid form? Hmmmm...I always thought it fell out in rock form.
