Dizziness, euphoria!!! , daily headaches, blurred vision!! PLEASE HELP!

by Punkin22, Mar 04, 2009 10:14PM
I experience blurred vision, headaches, anxiety, loss of energy, dizziness and the most frustrating of them all is the surrealness! I am completely at my wits end, and I am bawling even now as I type this.  I've been getting headaches all my life but all of a sudden one day, I just started experiencing all the other symptoms along with the excruciating headaches. I have recently been diagnosed with pseudotumor and I am taking Diamox for this but, it has not cured these symptoms. I feel better then I did initially because at first I couldnt even function. But now, I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING CRAZY:( ITS A NONSTOP THING! I am dealing with this from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. I cant take it anymore! When everything seems surreal, its the worst thing in the world to me! Sometimes , I feel like I dont want to go on like this anymore. I dont even feel normal anymore. Is there anyone else experiencing these symptoms? Can somebody help me??? I dont know where else to turn! My doctors are even clueless. And yes, I've been on anti depressants and anxiety meds and all it did was put a mask on it just for a while. If anyone can help me my email address is ***@**** help:(

Hi,

Your symptoms are typical of high intracranial pressure (ICP) due to pseudotumor cerebri. You can get your ICP checked just to make sure if it is getting controlled by diamox. LP serves a dual purpose in patients with pseudotumor cerebri it helps drain the excess spinal fluid and at the same time measures the ICP also.
Please discuss this with your treating doctor and keep us posted.
