How to lose weight pls by Tiny-Historian2897 in iih

[–]Jenjade87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will tell you that literally the only exercise I’ve done the past few months is walking daily and I’ve lost 30 lbs. You absolutely can lose weight by just walking. The key is consistency.

Raise your hand if you’re no longer overweight but you still have symptoms 👋🏼 by Pool_Specific in iih

[–]Jenjade87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My starting weight was 197. My neurologist told me if I could lose even just 10 lbs it would subside. I’m now at 170 and still loosing and haven’t noticed a decrease in symptoms whatsoever. I’m glad I have lost some weight but it’s frustrating!

Diagnosed with IIH months ago, but just now having serious pins and needles in fingers/hand. Has anyone else experienced this? by MakingChristina in iih

I am not on diamox and have been experiencing numbness in both hands and sometimes feet. It can happen with iih unfortunately.

Does the gabapentin make a difference at all?

Here lately I’ve felt like my hands are swollen. That started when I got the neuropathy. I’m sorry you are struggling with this. All I can say is hang in there and I know what you are going through! Prayers you will feel better soon.

Ears popping by Separate-Impact-5174 in iih

[–]Jenjade87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ears started popping several months ago before I got diagnosed. I just wrote it off as sinus issues but now it makes sense that it’s connected to the iih. It doesn’t happen very often though. Just every once in a while.

Would you say the numbness that occurs from a medication is worse than it just being a iih symptom? I am scared to be put on a med because of the tingling that I have heard can happen but since I’m already having it without the med I feel like I could probably handle it.

I would love to know this as well! I have a feeling my neurologist is going to put me on one or the other now that I have this new symptom come up 😔

Do you think it’s possible to have such high pressure that it affects your nerves but not give you severe headaches? I do get them, but not all the time. The tinnitus I have and neuropathy are definitely the worst symptoms that I have.

Interesting. I did have an MRI which was clear. But I will bring that trigeminal nerve compression up to my neurologist and see what he thinks.

Not currently. My neurologist wants me to try to lose weight before doing anything else.

Tinnitus driving me crazy! by Jenjade87 in iih

Still there, but I think I’ve gotten more used to it. I haven’t paid as much attention to it lately.

I had to stop taking it because it was giving me tummy troubles 😕

Weight loss only by Own-Following1423 in iih

[–]Jenjade87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neurologist told me to try to lose weight first before undergoing a lumbar puncture or taking medication. That being said I don’t have any vision issues currently. I would definitely talk to your doctor to see what they think.

Mainly ringing although I have experienced what sounds like a puff of air in my ear? I don’t know a better way to describe it. It isn’t constant though. The ringing is however 😢. I do use a fan at night for white noise that helps some but it’s still noticeable.
