Under pressure - literally!
 

Hey there, name's Anna. Well, I've finally started getting some answers after a couple of years of searching for a cause to all my strange problems. The doctors are strongly suspicious of Pseudotumor Cerebri/Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension because of my symptoms (papilledema, pulsatile tinnitus, headaches, fatigue - I've never seen a list of symptoms that so closely matched what I'm experiencing before.) I have yet to receive the official diagnosis, but they are almost certain. All that's left to do is get a lumbar puncture on Tuesday to see if my CSF pressure is indeed too high. So I thought I would join to be around people who are going through the same kind of thing, as well as share my experience wherever it may be helpful as I go along. See you around. :)

Hello & Welcome!!
