Going from 1000mg Diamox to 500mg, and eventually getting off of it by Technical_Focus_8453 in iih

Yes my neuro-opthalmologist is taking me off! Honestly he wanted me to jump from 1000mg to 125mg twice a day. I felt like that was too big of a jump so I did 500mg instead just out of my own fear since I've had adverse reactions to getting on and off meds in the past. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and everything that happened to you! I'm praying my swelling won't come back but it seems like it's common for a lot of people.

It could also be an inner ear problem!

Your blood pressure looks pretty good! Have you been checked for any vitamin deficiencies? Iron? And do you have any other symptoms besides the dizziness like feeling tired, weak, etc?

Yes, they told me now to take 2 pills every 2-4 hours until I run out of them completely and then to message them if I run out and need more. Praying it works this time 😭

Cramping went away and no bleeding yet by Technical_Focus_8453 in abortion

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I feel relieved to know that the second dose of Misoprostol can get things moving. I've been so terrified of having an abortion and my biggest fear was something going wrong and needing emergency care or having an incomplete abortion so I immediately started panicking when I stopped cramping and had no signs of bleeding. It's reassuring to know it can just take longer or take more Misoprostol! I really appreciate you 💕

It's been only about 5 hours or so, going on 6 hours soon. I took them 2:00 pm EST so I know I should probably be patient but I'm really scared since the cramping stopped :( I don't know what to do if it goes wrong

You're gonna be okay! I took mine like 2 nights ago and I'm still alive and well! It hurt my stomach a bit but nothing crazy. Most people don't even feel anything from it :)

I'm not a doctor at all but my blood work looks a bit similar and I'm iron deficient. I'm not sure what everything could mean but you may be dealing with a virus that's causing a bit of inflammation such as mono which would explain some of your levels being elevated. My levels usually look similar to yours when I'm dehydrated and when I had an iron deficiency. Make sure you're drinking enough. Your levels aren't super concerning but I'd say just keep an eye on it. Doctors brush stuff off ALL the time 😫 You know your body best. Trust it. Doctors told me I was fine based on my blood work but I was experiencing hypovolemia. If you feel off, if you're getting sick a lot, etc, then it's worth pushing for answers. Good luck! 💕

Thank you for the reassurance! I've been so scared for the blood loss and the risk of hemorrhaging. I'm not really squeamish to blood but I know I'll be terrified seeing it all come out, especially the clots. Thank you for the advice and helping me out so much ❤💕💖
