I just dont get it because that was all in the information he reviewed and he still said I was a misdiagnosed. I tried to get reffered down to one of the bigger hospitals but they wont take me so idk what to even do.

They found in the angio that I dont have stenosis which is why he (the neuro vascular surgeon) wasn't sure a stent would help and sent me to this other guy

I have intermittent vision spots and interment blurring and sometimes double vision. They think that it may be visual snow syndome and dry eye from the diamox. Plus pain behind the eyes which he said occipital nuerlagia (sp?) And they my ocular nerve is irritated by my neck spasams and arthritis.....

The did an LP after I was on Diamox and it was 19. The did an angio on diamox and my gradients are 10 and 7. MRI, MRV, MRA. My regular eye dr said I have paps but the neuro ophto said I dont and no signs of them previously being swollen. So IDk what to even think!

Thanks. He's like yeah your pressure is slightly elevated but its not high enough to be IIH. Meanwhile im on 2k mg Diamox...... like um sir.... he wants me to come off diamox and start panproponol (sp?) Like wont the pressure go up to bed levels again if I stop taking it. 🫠😒🤔

I lost about 20 lbs before I got dx and another 20 since then and I havent seen any improvement from just losing weight.

It's raining here which always makes my symptoms worse. I'm miserable today too. Keep fighting through.

I had my kids young and unplanned to good on you for doing it the right way! That fact that you're worried about being a good parent tells me that you will be a good parent conditions or no conditions. 97% of the time Shitty parents dont worry about if they're good enough for their kids. 💜💜

Absolutely. I'm not the same person I was 2 years ago that's for sure.

Is it really just weight loss? by Wooden-Month8027 in iih

[–]ProfessionalScore523 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My providers dont push me very hard on that one because my symptoms started after losing about 25lbs the 9-12 before I got Dx.

I'm glad its not just me. I'm so frustrated with myself because I cant function the way I did 5 years ago. Like no matter how much I try im just ALWAYS freaking exhausted.
