A Nebraska woman thought her runny nose, which had lasted, almost nonstop, for years, was due to allergies, but it was actually caused by leaking brain fluid, KETV (Omaha) is reporting.
In 2013, Kendra Jackson was rear-ended in a car accident, causing her to smack her face on the dashboard. That was five years ago, and for five years, Kendra had been having a nonstop runny nose. So nonstop, she says, that she carried a box of tissue with her wherever she went.
“Everywhere I went I always had a box of Puffs, always stuffed in my pocket. [It was] like a waterfall, continuously, and then it would run to the back of my throat.”
It never stopped. The runny nose, and accompanying headaches, would bedevil her 24/7, interrupting her sleep and making her just sort of shuffle through life from exhaustion.
“I was like a zombie.”
