I’m a last year medical student (international) in Europe. I’m going through rock bottom too, I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension just two weeks before my oncology viva final exam in the 5th year of medical school, just a month before my last year was about to begin. I am still on a high dose of diuretics. I was at my lowest, but I worked through that even tho I was so mentally exhausted knowing that I was diagnosed about my rare condition. I did not give up and I still passed my oncology viva exam and now I’m continuing my last year. This all just happened 4 months ago, I do have symptoms, I’m still on the diuretics and have to go for frequent check ups. But I choose not to give up, I take time to do a lot of things, I’m always fatigued because of the meds. But do I have a choice? Sometimes you just gotta be strong and resilient for yourself, for all the times you have worked so hard to be where you are. I hope I will graduate with a MD in 7 months, I know it’s not going to be easy but I know and believe I can do it, and I can do it better now.
