@lotus413 So, I was diagnosed in 2015 and have yet to need a spinal tap. It’s kind of a last resort thing here. My neurologist tries to keep things as simple and painless as possible. That said, I do indeed have IIH as I’ve seen my optic nerve and the damage it does. You have to remember these conditions aren’t the same for everyone.

@BriTaylor Many times if your pressure is high enough, you can see it on an MRI.
