Anyone Suffer From Pseudotumor Cerebri?



Recommended Posts

Don't forget your meds! :-)

Things are going great my way. I was having headaches but it was from lack of sleep. I'm a nurse and work crazy hours on top of kids, hubs and everyday life. I was in over drive and couldnt relax. Got some meds to help me relax and sleep and bam no more headaches. I've been very lucky with my outcomes from the surgery. ICP gone. PCOS gone. Fat ass gone!

Well after my LP this morning it is confirmed... My PTC is in remission !!! No more meds! My opening pressure was 14 and my Neuro said that was in normal range!!! I am soo happy!!! I just hope it stays that way! He's gonna keep a watch on me though to make sure it stays in normal range once I stop all the meds!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
