KellySieck June 19 at 9:42 am0 LikesI was diagnosed in 2008 with pseudotumor ceribri with papiledema.
I spent two years in and out of the hospital with severe neck and shoulder pain, an eye ache with a mild headache as well as other symptoms.
. I felt worse on diamox and would get frequent kidney stones. It is extremely frustrating knowing thereis not a cure however it can go into remission. I stopped going to my neurologist and kept my neuro eye doc. I focused on stress relief which seems to trigger my symptoms. Healthy diet and started swimming for exercise. I went to the chiropractor and tried acupuncture.
I had success for 9 montths however i am having trouble once again.
The only thing I take for pain is flexeril and if I am having trouble with swelling of the optic nerves I return to lasix along with visits to the eye doc for visual field test.
Attitude along with faith makes it easier to cope. Find something that helps you get some relief, and never give up on trying to get better.
