I was recently diagnosed with benign intracranial hypertension. its a very rare disease. only 0.9 out of 100,000 have this condition. its basically excess fluid around the brain thats not flushing out from the body. i am awaiting for a letter to come from the hospital to tell me wots has to happen next which i am not looking forword too. i also had to have a mri scan 3 days ago which wasnt pleasant either as i am closdofobic so it was very difficult for me. i found out i had this condition after i went for a regular check-up at the opticians, i knew something was wrong cos i was in there for a while and had other opticians coming to have a look. he referred me straigh to the hospital and was kept in there for almost a week and was constantly being tested on like a lab rat lol. i hope that helps any1. sorry i couldnt be anymore of a help to u all but atleast ino theres other ppl out there thats going through the same thing i am.
