Hello, I have been having some weird symptoms as of late. Actually the vision symptoms have been lasting for about 6 months now. When i look at straight lines...blinds...door frames...they look like they are slightly vibrating or shimmering. Like heat coming off of a hot road. Anyway, I have had an MRI and had many vision tests and I have 20/20 vision and have checked out fine. He said my optic nerves looked a tad bit swollen, but nothing major. I also see a therapist and have been diagnosed with having a minor anxiety problem. Other than that I am healthy....20 years old and a college student. I had a lumbar puncture and I think my pressure was 18. My neuro cant seem to find any answers and said that maybe that pressure is just too high for me and has started me on Diamox 250 mg daily. My sister also has pseudotumor. From diamox I have tingling in hands, feet, and lips and also horrible ringing in my right ear that keeps me awake at night. I also feel a weird pressure in my knees and in my wrists. I am also allergic to sulfa drugs (from childhood) and he told me to take it anyway. This is my 5th day, if I were going to have an allergic reaction I already would have by now correct? I get so afraid that my throat will swell up or something. Anyway, my neuro notices a SMALL spot on my brain and he said this is in what is considered the visual cortex. He couldnt really tell if it was even anything, that it might have been some type of shadow on the MRI. Or it could have been something as simple as bumping my head as a child. I am worried about this spot...but he said some people have spots or holes in their brains and its completely normal for them and means nothing. The spot is so small that he actually overlooked it the first time he looked at my MRIs and none of my other doctors noticed it either. Is this true about nothing to worry about? I am very concerned about all of this and just want my life back. Also, do you think this could be persistent migraine aura without infarction? Thank you, answers would be SO appreciated!!!! By the way, I dont take any other medicines other than the diamox.
