Doctor's Report

I'd thought I'd update you on my visit to the neuro-opthamologist yesterday. Things went pretty well. She is still amazed that I have 20/20 vision (with corrective lenses that I had before the whole incident). There was concern over the headaches that I have been having, and she increased my Diamox dose significantly for the next 10 days or so to quickly reduce the pressure in my head and then I will go down to twice a day dosing that I was on for most of last year. The beginning of this year we had tried to taper down my dose to once a day, but obviously that trial failed. My optic nerves still looked OK (for me anyway). No mention of a repeat MRI or anything was made. she did encourage weight loss again (like I haven't tried), as people who are overweight have mildly elevated intracranial pressures anyway. she did not attribute this (my Increased intracranial presure) to my weight at all, as we know it was caused by the blood clot. Well that's my news for now!
