pseudotumor cerebri

pseudotumor cerebri

Help i have had pseudo for 10 months now my nero sent me to get a shunt put in, but the nero surgen said he won't do that because of weight and my cronic (chronic) daily migraines. now i am getting passed off from doctor to doctor like no one wants me or knows what to do with me. just this last one that i was suppose to go see i was going to get eye sheathing done but he said my optic nerves were deformed??? i said hello i have pseudotumor cerebri he gave me migraine meds .comes to find out he dosn't do eye sheathing at all ; im already on 200mg of topamax a day  so he said add this see him in 3 weeks lol. I am in so much pain i am done i can't go on like this anymore do you have any advice what i can do about this? oh and yes i am on diamox 1,000mg a day. I also have fibromyalgea and im taking 60mg at night of cymbalta for that. would a shunt be worth it or should i try gastric or is there somthing else out there for me?

Hi,

I responded to your earlier post before seeing this one.  My questions are still the same.  Also, you asked if you should try gastric.  Can you explain more?
