i have suffered with migraine type headaches for as long as i can remember. last november i had a headache that would not go away! after the holidays i tried several doctors with no satisfactory results. on the third try i found a doctor willing to try several new medications. after endless regiments of different meds and a mri which showed nothing, seven months later i still have headeaches. yesterday in my most recent dr visit, she mentioned pseudo-tumor cerebri as a possiblility. due to high blood pressure-no spinal taps til that is controlled. the web has done nothing but increase my apprehension. who can tell me how the ptc diagnosis is made and what are my options if this is what i have??
