I had a check up with the neurologist the other day. He said that some of the swelling in my optic nerves went down. Most of the side effects I was having are gone. He told me the floaters in my vision aren't caused by ptc. I don't believe that cause they seemed to get worse as I was getting worse. Im still having them but everything else is gone for the most part. I still have a headache now and then, but I kind of think some are brought on by the weather. Still on Diamox for now.
Well congrats that some of your optic Nerve swelling is down-that's good news!
RE: Floaters Did the DR tell you what they could be from if not the PTC? If not, maybe call his office on Monday and ask to leave a message for him or his triage nurse saying that you have a question you forgot to ask at the appointment and could you get a call back...
Seems strange that it wouldn't be from the PTC, this Doc needs to give you an answer.
