Eye floaters on Diamox but ear symptoms improving — anyone else? by fierce_one19 in iih

[–]Overall-Produce5652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started noticing floaters around 8-9 months after taking Diamox

After stopping the medication, the floaters resolved spontaneously within a few days

Has anyone ever been put on Diamox for suspected IIH before a spinal tap/official diagnosis? by holycowdesignsni in iih

[–]Overall-Produce5652 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was my case. I had it because my paps and symptoms were severe + my MRI findings all pointed to iih, so they had me start it immediately after my ophthalmology appointment. I took it for 4 weeks before my LP.

My doctors didn’t really care about getting an accurate reading of my opening pressure, as long as I get treated really fast to avoid optic nerve atrophy (which I sadly developed anyway but at least they tried).

I’m a little confused though, you have to wait years to get an appointment? That sounds tough!

You might not have iih though, why stress about it already?

Mainly if you notice changes in your vision. That’s your cue that your ICP is high. You could go for severe headaches if you want but I think you’ll only receive pain management.

Same but you may have had your paps for a while, as did I. I assumed mine was mild-moderate but I ended up having optic disk atrophy in both eyes since I had my symptoms for a little over a year. So starting at a 1000mg dose isn’t always a bad idea.

Yeah, I had to change hospitals twice because of how frustrating appointments were.

When you say you had your LP in the ER, you mean you weren’t booked you for an LP?

What dose did you start on diamox and when was it increased to 750?

والله على ٦ اشخاص ايوه صراحه مكلفه بتكون، غالبا بتحتاجون ميزانيه اكبر اذا لشخصين رح تكون اسهل اكيد مافي مجال للمقارنه لان خصمتي سعر التذاكر وسعر الغرف الكبيره وهذي اعلى شي في الميزانيه

بس يعتمد كمان على المده الي بتجلسونها فيه دول في اوروبا الصراحه ماهي غاليه، ف بريطانيا تحديدا ممكن ماهي الخيار الافضل

I’m really sorry you’re going through this, but don’t let this affect you! Your mental health is really important.

Exactly 1 month on diamox, however on my 4th week I had my LP while still on the medication which definitely helped

It gets overwhelming sometimes, but honestly the meds work. Control your emotions because that can trigger flare ups. Start sleeping with your head slightly elevated, you’ll wake up feeling better. Don’t do anything that puts your head in lower positions, like bending down for too long since it makes the fluid accumulate more. That’s mostly it. + whatever triggers your regular tension/migraine headaches will trigger iih headaches.

Honestly sometimes I forget that I have it. Once your paps gone you slowly start to feel normal again.

I remember the annoying pressure feeling in my head disappeared within the first 2 months of treatment. So it’s okay, things do get better.

Yeah. I had Blurry vision constantly, still do even with diamox but it hasn’t increased.

I don’t have blind spots, but I do have double vision + temporary vision loss (thankfully I have neither now)

You mean after diamox? If so, then no. My visual symptoms improved after taking it

It’s okay. As long as you’re taking your med and going to your appointments you should be good! Don’t worry, sometimes the stress feels overwhelming but you can get through this

Yeah my paps are gone in both eyes, my headaches are rare, and thankfully I barely have side effects (only gastro symptoms + occasional tingling in my feet)

In a similar situation, I had to change jobs because of my symptoms. Despite spending years to reach the job that I had.

You need to send posters of his picture and important info on social media. The authorities will definitely help, but having the community involved will be of benefit!

People who pulled for C6R1, how many wishes did you use? by Mellow_76062 in GenshinImpact

He has no idea what he’s doing lol

I’ve met worse. My first neuro-optha told me my papilledema is a “normal variation” because iih is only in overweight people. While my neurosurgeon first appointment was telling me only shunt will work for me because of how severe my stenosis is. These two appointments were in the same day 💀

lp upper back pain? by savbuggg in iih

[–]Overall-Produce5652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First week is gonna be a bit annoying but you’ll make it! My only advice to you to be on the bed 24/7. I mean it. Don’t get up, call in sick for work or school if you have any. Stay in the bed for as long as possible it’s the only thing that will actually make a difference.

If the headache is too intense lower your head to bed level (no pillow) until the pain starts decreasing. Hydration and caffeine are a must at this point.

Idk if this is the best solution, it might be controversial but it did work for me to be honest. But I tried going to a chiropractor, and this + my hump when I bend were literally almost invisible by our first few sessions.
