#brain pressure

haha, of course, my period starts while all my other symptoms are flaring up 🫠 here come the debilitating cramps all the way down to my knees on top of everything else

I'm glad IIH is rare because I wish no one ever had to experience this, but I also wish I could just meet one person irl who has or is in remission from IIH so I'd have someone who understands and maybe then I wouldn't feel so alone in this illness.

You guys idk what to do, my medicine has stopped working, I'm on a higher dose now too and it still isn't working. My pulsatile tinnitus is back and the pressure in my head and neck feels so intense anytime I stand up and especially if I have to bend over for anything 🫠 I still can't even see a doctor yet because I still don't have insurance and I'm terrified that my last option after this medicine fails is brain surgery 😞 I'm terrified of that option especially because I have no insurance right now 💔

I'm going to have to go in for another spinal tap (I had one in June) because my brain pressure seems to be coming back :( I hope I don't get sick again. This will put a damper in my weight loss.
