We are a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation working across the UK to raise awareness of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and aiming to provide support and advice for sufferers, their families and supporters, and a resource for the medical profession. A CSF leak is a serious and often incapacitating medical condition where a hole forms in the membrane that contains the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can occur in the head or spine as result of trauma, surgery, an underlying disorder or spontaneously.When fluid leaks out, pressure and volume reduces in the skull which allows the brain to sag. As are result, sufferers often experience severe head pain, pressure, visual disturbance, hearing impairment, tinnitus, spasms, seizures and a range of other symptoms.Research shows that at least 5 in 100,000 people are affected by spontaneous CSF leaks, with many more suffering from iatrogenic leaks. The condition is generally underdiagnosed, with misdiagnosis of migraine, sinusitis, NDPH and other headache disorders being common. Our mission is to promote awareness of CSF Leaks, to support better access to much needed help, support and information and help to improve access to fast, appropriate treatment and care.

PMRGCAuk aims to help people with Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis, and to raise awareness about these diseases that suddenly attack people over the age of 50. PMR causes extreme pain in the muscles and joints, and affects mobiliity. Giant Cell Arteritis, which is linked to PMR, can cause sudden blindness if not treated immediately. We believe we can save the sight of hundreds of people a year just by raising awareness among the public and the medical profession. The cause of PMR and GCA is not known, and there is currently no cure. The usual treatment is long-term use of corticosteroids, and these drugs have side effects that can affect health in other ways, for instance by causing osteoporosis and high blood sugar. So people under treatment for PMR and GCA are at increased risk from fractures and diabetes. These are Cinderella diseases that have not been taken sufficiently seriously in the past. But now there is increasing interest, as the health and social costs of PMR and GCA become better known. Because the people who get PMR and GCA are often elderly and infirm, they can feel isolated and depressed. Many people who were formerly active and independent become disabled overnight, and the most unfortunate ones lose their vision, through a 'stroke in the eye' caused by obstruction of the arteries in the head. Everyone needs to know the key symptoms of Giant Cell Arteritis to protect themselves and people they love. Your help is desperately needed not onlyto provide information, support and encouragement to sufferers, but also to help us raise public awareness. Thank you!
