Went to the eye doctor today after my ENT (Ear nose throat) Doctor told me that the blurred vision I was having had nothing to do with any sinus infection. Eye Doctor diagnosed me with Bi-Lateral Papilledema (Hey at least I have a name for the headaches now). He seemed to think it was the result of Pseudotumor cerebri, but if I get lucky I may have a brain tumor or menegitis! Ooo I feel like I'm in the lottery here....

"This special condition, called pseudotumor cerebri or benign intracranial hypertension, results from an overproduction of spinal fluid. It is more common in women who are obese and are of childbearing age."

Those were the opthamoligists words to describe it, ie a fat girl disease.

You are not fat... just delightfully plump. :D

Seriously Rahvin, those are general diagnostics. You have an eye doctor saying all this stuff which is out of his field. Go to a real doctor.

I'm so sorry to hear about the headaches and possible tumor! Is this condition treatable? I hadn't heard of it before. I shall keep you in my prayers that everything will turn out all right.
