The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily. Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well. Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off) Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath |

Here's a link to the Mayo Clinics explanation http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-c...n/con-20028792
It is also called idiopathic intracranial hypertension, basically meaning they do not know what causes it. .

Sarah,
There are many older posts in some of the other forums here regarding pseudotumor cerebri. Some of them are quite recent. You could try the full forum search link below. Just type in pseudotumor cerebri. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/search.php |
