Somewhat Helpful
Helpful but not enough to stop the pressure rising.
Well it has realy helped with the spasms and the walking problems.
Too Soon To Tell
I am not liking the numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. I am slowly getting used to the drowsiness finally after a week.
Too Soon To Tell
I hate it and I cant wait to get off of it. Hopefully I can find some inspirations here.
Too Soon To Tell
my fingers and toes randomly tingle still. its rather frustrating because i know there is nothing i can do about the tingling. PTC effected my right side more dominantly and i still cant quite hear all the way out of my right ear and i still have a few spots on my vision but it is definately an improvement. my head is still a little painful especially when i first get out of bed in the morning.
Too Soon To Tell
I cant comment on the effectiveness quite yet but I can say that within two doses I can no longer STAND the taste of carbonated beverages. I went from being a diet coke or two a day kind of girl to oh my god is this diet coke tainted??? If only they could find a medication to make carbs taste as repulsive as carbonated beverages on Diamox...itd make the weightloss part of my treatment ohsomucheasier.
Too Soon To Tell
He is not absorbing CSF in the brain so they are trying
Too Soon To Tell
Had a spinal tap and spinal fluid pressure was to high so the Diamox is supposed to aleviate the headaches and lower the pressure around my brain from the spinal fluid.
I'm considering having my doctor write me a prescription for this
Not Working
Did not have any effect at all on either the swelling or the csf level.
