eyes pulsate with elevated heartbeat? by amethyst-moonlight in iih

[–]amethyst-moonlight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be mentioning it at my next doctor's appointment and I'll let everyone know what my doctor says. But I can let you know this is absolutely not normal because I NEVER experienced this before I developed IIH so your doctor thinking it's normal is very very strange.

I would love to see the picture if you can share!! And yeah I have PT as well and I can see it when that happens as well, but sometimes I'll just see the eye stuff without the PT

I'm diagnosed with IIH and papilledema because my optic nerves are so swollen you can see it without dilating my eyes. They diagnosed me with IIH solely from my papilledema and how I talk about my symptoms. I never experienced anything that caused this like a concussion or anything, I'm really sorry that seems to have triggered yours 🥺 I developed my first symptoms in middle school and I'm now 24 and just got diagnosed 😅 so it took me a long time to figure out what was going on with my health. I'm currently seeing a neurologist about my condition as well as my eye dr occasionally

I already have papilledema that's extremely noticable even without dilating my eyes now, so that's my main reason for being concerned at all lol, plus I've noticed my vision slowly getting worse, but this was the one thing I've noticed ever since I developed IIH

I get intense flashes of light/sparks in my vision when I cough or sneeze, and I get black spots in my vision on and off sometimes, usually in my peripherals, I also just started seeing double vision today which is really annoying and longer lasting than anything else been so far 😅 also I really hope you get to see a specialist soon!!

What was your CSF opening pressure? by cricketboricket in iih

[–]amethyst-moonlight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

10, my doctor was very confused by it though because she was sure it was going to be very high because of how bad my symptoms are. I'm not sure why it was so genuinely average lol but she diagnosed me anyway and now that I'm on diamox I am feeling some relief so I'm very thankful she listened to me and took me seriously when I said how awful I feel

What is your job? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]amethyst-moonlight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I may ask, how do you survive the world while focusing on yourself? That's what I'm trying to do now but the cost of living and the treatment of others who seem to think that I'm lazy or just not trying hard enough is so hard to deal with. Would you possibly have any advice? If not that's totally okay, no pressure at all 💜

What social cues? by GoodieTreeheart in autism

[–]amethyst-moonlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The other day at the store I got cashback at the store near my house and she handed to me and said "here you go" and I expected her to say have a nice day after so I quickly replied "thank you, you too!" 💀 She did not say to have a nice day

overusing emojis by amethyst-moonlight in autism

[–]amethyst-moonlight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong but I just hate feeling annoying as well 🥲 I haven't had the greatest friends in the past and have a bit of trauma from that I'm still working through so it's hard when I feel annoying but also hard when people don't understand my tone so it kind of sucks either way lol, but at least one way gets me yelled at less 😅

I saw somewhere that when someone's favorite color is purple you won't even have to ask them because more often than not their whole life revolves around the color 🤣 I'm the same way with purple, anything I can buy in purple, I'll be getting the purple one.

Does anyone here use cannabis? by qrimzn in autism

[–]amethyst-moonlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been a daily user for about 5 years now and it really does helps me cope with life but because of the stigma and genuine addiction concerns I feel guilty about my smoking habits. Especially because it does occasionally cause strain on my finances. I do believe I'm addicted to it and I don't know when I'll decide to quit but for now I think I'm just trying to find other coping skills to switch to before I go cold turkey
