This is pretty new to me, Ive always known it as something my mother has however just a few months back I was diagnosed with it. But for starters I suffered from a particularly nasty viral,infection that turned into a nasty sinus infection and then into something else. Im severely near sighted and after the fever i had and still have 20/20 vision. This was alarming because shortly after all of the symptoms of pseudotumor began to happen all at once. It all began to come together when i went to an eye doctor in wal mart and he realuzed that my optic nerves were swollen.There was a long drawn out process of neurologist visits and a lumbar puncture. Im pressure was at 450, I had no clue how severe that was because it felt like a constant annoying, nagging headache. They quickly relieved the pressure and started me on diamox er 1000mg. The first few weeks were very tough, I hated it. The fatigue was awful. I had and still have the wooshing in my right ear, but things have gotten better since. However my vision still hast gone back to normal but yhe pressure is slowly subsiding. Im supposed to focus on weight loss but my appetite is a force to be reckoned with. Does diamox cause that? Does this get any better? Imcobstantly tired, always sore and so very thirsty.
