- I have been fighting a bad headache for about 14 days now. It has me feeling like I am on the verge of one of those bad "attacks" where I have to go get an LP done to relieve some of the pressure. My cheek bones hurt like they are being squeezed...
- While I wish none of us where cursed with this wretched disease I am very thankful to have "gotten to know" you guys and for all your help that you have been to me this part 6 months or so! Hope you all had a wonderful and hopefully pain free...
- I must have to much time on my hands to think about stuff like this but I have noticed that most of us have complained that are symptoms are worse on the right side. Headache, vision, eye pain, ear pain, ear whooshing, etc all seem worse on the...
- Now if I could just figure out how to stop it, life would be good. The first 9 months of IIH I was doing really well aside from the one instance in May when I got very sick. From the end of May to the begining of Sept. I was doing better each day...
- Does anyone know if tremors in the hands is related to either diamox or IIH? When I was first put on Diamox (same time as diagnosis) I noticed ever so slightly when I needed to do some sort of fine motor skills my hands would shake but lately it...
- So my Neuro said donating blood was perfectly fine even got the ok from the endocrinologist but after listening to your stories I'm scared to death to do it (can't afford my head getting angry). Did I mention I am the worst person in the world to...
- Does anyone know if there is there any restrictions on giving blood with PTC? Apparently there seems to be an over whelming demand for my blood type and I want to go give but don't want to if it is not advised. I could not think of any reasons why...
- I am studying veterinary medicine and we were just discussing brain trauma and other neurological disorders, one of which included increased cranial pressure. I ran across this statement and couldn't help but think I wonder what this could mean for...
- I have a 6 yr old who has had trouble falling asleep since she was 2. We have actually had weeks where she will go on less than 2 hrs of sleep for the whole week. It has gotten somewhat better over time but I am desperate for answers as this is...
- Wow it takes all kinds to make the world go round! Anyway he said my thyroid uptake and scan was normal (kind of). The 6 hour was completely within range 20.4 (15.2-30.4) but the 24 hr one was high normal 29.3 (15.2-30.4) so he thinks I will have...
- I feel like lately all I do is complain and I promise that is not the kind of person I am or was or want to be. I think I have reached maximum capcity on my stress level lately. Today really was a simple thing but it came on the heels of a much...
- I'm still on quest to find some vitamins. I know everyone has said just take them all seperately but I don't want to take 500 pills a day! I found a bunch of prenatals with 4000 (whatever unit) but its hard to find them under that. (found one...
- I've mentioned in another post that the doctor wants me to decrease my diamox from 1000mg/day to 500 mg/day. I have cut back to 750 mg/day and have noticed some good things and some bad things. The biggest good thing is that the headaches I was...
- I am hoping I can get some help. I have NOT been diagnosed with this but am starting to wonder if this could be the culpret. Short history:Had hypothyroidism as a kid (whole family suffers from it). "outgrew" it and was fine although symptomatic...
- Apparently the dose I was at was a good dose for me?! I was at 1000mg/day of diamox and my neurologist wanted me to wean myself down to 500mg/day. I was really exicted but after just 3 days at 750mg/day I am seriously thinking about going back to...
