I was diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri almost 8 months ago. I do not fit the typical profile for a person with this. I\'ve been told by my Neurologist as well as my opthalmolagist that it is normally with woman who are overweight and in there early 30\'s..I\'m not by any means overweight, 25, but my medical history has always been not the greatest. I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was 9 and Bone Cancer when I was 10. The same year I was diagnosed with a rare bone and muscle degenerative disease. Lately, I\'ve put it upon myself to stop treatments all together, due to the fact that I\'m tired of taking medications. I\'ve been on Prednisone 60mg-80mg for almost 7 months, Lasix, and Midrin just for these reasons. But I\'ve been treated for an anxiety and depression with Celexa, which also helps with my eating disorder I\'ve had for almost all my life. If someone out there can please email me with any information that may help me I would greatly appreciate that. I can\'t find out any info about this diagnosis, and would like to know about what other problems may occur..
