So she got a lumbar puncture procedure done at some point from
someone who didn't know what the hell they were doing. This is
what happens to Munchausen Syndrome hypochondriacs who
doctor-shop until they find someone sleazy enough to go along
with the patient's imagined "symptoms".

The lumbar puncture procedure she had done got infected and
refused to heal, thus her dura mater has a hole in it that can
only be closed temporarily via blood patch (or permanently via
surgery... but I'm not sure Lisa's crazy enough to risk crippling
herself... yet). When it's not closed, the cerebrospinal fluid
leaks out, leaving a pressure differential between the fluid
around the brain and the fluid column in the lumbar spine, which
gives her blinding headaches and other symptoms. Note that the
blood patch procedure is temporary and doesn't permanently repair
the leak but only treats the patient's symptomology. IOW, she
needs to find better doctors who won't put holes in her spine in
the first place then only treat the symptoms rather than
repairing the damage.

So now her fake-sickery is real, and she's gotten herself into a
situation where she either puts up with blinding headaches and
having the blood patch procedure done again and again until her
dura mater looks like a pin cushion and no more blood patches can
be done, or she risks her life and risks becoming crippled in
surgery.

That's exactly right. I get a kick out of you. You know a lot about a
whole lot of stuff that's never even been heard of by most folks.

The Fakeytard just knows how to use Google to make some people think he
knows everything. It's what Fakeytards do.
