Seeking Advice on Preventing Migraines with IIH

Anyone know how to stop the awful migraines? My pressure levels appear to be stable so my neurologist doesn't think the migraines are related, but I never had them before developing IIH so I don't know how to prevent them from happening. I've been focusing on lifestyle changes but very little success.

Concerns about driving with pseudotumor cerebri

My neurologist has sent me to see an opthamalogist to confirm his suspicion that I have pseudotumor cerebri. He seems fairly certain based on my symptoms, MRI, and retinal scan. One of my symptoms is double vision. Have any of you lost your ability to drive/been told you no longer can drive by the doctor based on the double vision or other vision issues? I am quite worried about this now that my appointment is less than 2 weeks away.

Sudden Eye Problems: Could it be High Pressure or IIH?

My eye sight has gotten significantly worse in the past 1 or 2 months, out of nowhere. I am having blurriness, eye pain, and some colored spots occasionally. Does this sound like it could be a sign that my pressure is high? I’m scared it’s from the IIH…

My Experience with Acne Medication and IIH

I started taking Minocycline in 2012 for acne,which is what they think caused my IIH. I had 20/20 vision before that and my vision was getting worse every 6 months or so until I got diagnosed a year ago and stopped taking the acne med and went on a diuretic for 5 months. After that my pressure has been good at my Neuro Opthamology appts. My script for glasses hasn’t changed in a year now. I haven’t needed the diuretic again yet and haven’t been having many symptoms though I had a horrible headache last night into this morning and can’t help but worry. My Neuro Ophthalmologist appt was supposed to be this week out near Boston (I live in Western MA) but she’s moving practices so I’ll be seeing her in May for a check up. They check the pressure through my eyes instead of ever doing an LP again,in another comment I explained I got a CSF leak from my LP and it gave me a horrible what they call spinal headache,I thought it was just normal back pain after the LP but it got so bad I had to call my dad and have him bring me to the ER. To patch the hole they had to,bedside in the ER with no sedation,draw blood from my arm and inject it into my spinal cord to patch the hole up to stop the leak. I also was in a lot of pain during the LP which supposedly isn’t normal. Phew has it been a year😅
