Sadly, I think most of us can relate to most of your symptoms. I wanted to mention that I believe this is how high (and low) CSF pressure can get missed — the symptoms often get lost in the mix. I, too, didn’t have incontinence, but had the other symptoms of high intracranial pressure (as did my son). In many EDS/POTS patients, some neurosurgeons encourage tethered cord surgery to reverse (or slow the development of) incontinence. Instead, this can be high ICP causing it. My daughter had few symptoms of high intracranial pressure beyond headache (and her head circumference grew much faster than her body). Her headaches went away overnight. In other words, we don’t have to have all symptoms of high ICP. Make sense? 😉
