Confused and Worried
I have been diagnosed with Pseudo Tumor Cerebi roughly 2 years ago (due to my weight and being on bith control). I had an MRI (which was normal) and a spinal tap(which they said was in the higher, normal range). I was prescribed Diamox 500mg. They worked wonders (but the manufacturer has since discontinued Diamox in Canada). Since then I have changed specialists. The Doctor I am seeing now, seemed a bit hesitant that I do actually have this condition. She has not scheduled any tests, other than a field vision, which I have done 3 times. It showed that my left eye is the worst. I was put on Acetazolamide 250mg. It took my body a long time to adjust to the amount I was taking in one day. I'm now taking them 5 times a day, and feel that they aren't doing much to help me.
The past few days I have felt very tired, can't think straight and have had reoccurring migraines that range in intensity. I am worried that these migraines are part of this condition. That is how it all started for me, I was very sensitive to light and could hear swishing in my ears that wouldn't go away. I don't get the swishing anymore (thank goodness)
I am so confused. The medications aren't working much and have been getting migraines. Also, when the new specialist seemed doubtful that I have this condition. Could it actually be something else?
Please Help!
I am lost.
Thank you,
Tracy
