Happy New Year my fellow Pseudo Tumor Cerebri \ IIH friends. I wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for the information and support you have given me since September. Honestly there is little information out there and I'm not sure what I would do without you as a resource and support.
This disease has taught me to slow down and be more patient. It has also taught me there are illnesses out there that can change or disable a persons life yet are not taken seriously. It has taught me to enjoy simple pleasures like a good cup of coffee or playing with my dog and to appreciate all the things I took for granted like seeing, walking, driving, and just being pain free for one day or sometimes just a few hour! For all of these things I can see the bright side of being diagnosed with PTC.
My wish for all of you in 2016 is full of good times, blessings, better health, and more days that are pain free!
Thank you!
