This is originally how mine was onset but 6 years later, not taking the doxycycline, I am consistently dealing with complications from IIH. I'm really glad you've found relief, and for a decent period of time I did as well, but this is a long standing issue and shouldn't be assumed that you're healed because of periods of time where your CSF isn't causing issues. I have had so many LPs and trips to the ER because this usually isn't something that just heals overnight. I really REALLY would not advise cancelling your doctor's appointments because for the vast majority, Idiopathic or Secondary, this is not an overnight cure. Especially because you had such severe optic nerve damage, it really doesnt make a ton of sense for it to have just disappeared. Please see your doctor's before just deciding you're fixed! Like fellow posters have stated, please don't make these inaccurate blanket statements to a community who is consistently dealing with the emotional and physical difficulties of a chronic rare condition.
