HELLO, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PSEUDO TUMOR 3 YEARS AGO, I WAS FIRST PUT ON DIAMOX WITH NO RESULTS, THEN LASIX THIS TOO WITH NO RESULTS. A YEAR AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED I HAD A LUMBAR SHUNT PLACED. THIS SEEMED TO HELP, HOWEVER THE RISK ARE HIGH. I HAVE STARTED GETTING THE HEADACHES AGAIN, AND THE PRESSURES ARE UP. WHEN I FIRST WENT TO THE DOCTOR MY PRESSURE WAS 58, WITH THE MEDS IT ONLY LOWERED IT A LITTLE. UNTIL I WAS DIAGNOSED I NEVER HEARD OF THIS,NOR HAD ANYONE I KNEW. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A RARE CONDITION, BUT SINE MY PROBLEMS IVE MET SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE AREA I LIVE IN WITH IT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT LOSEING WEIGHT WOULD MIGHT HELP. THE DOCTORS ALOS TOLD ME THAT IT MOSTLY OCCURS IN OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE. OUT OF ALL THE ONES THAT IVE MEET, 2 ARE OVER WEIGHT. PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED ON YOUR CONDITION, I HOPE THAT THEY CAN GET IT UNDER CONTEO. DO YOU ONLY HAVE ONE BLIND SPOT? I HAVE SEVEEAL. I TRIED TO GET DISABILITY, AND WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE IM NOT LEGALLY BLIND.HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON BRENDA
