Ive lost almost 4 kg now since 13 April. As 10% weight loss is considered the best long term treatment for IIH, I’m doing really well getting to that goal. Also, the main risk is sight loss and, at the moment, I’m not showing any signs of that. So, my plan is to stop medication completely and just monitor over the next couple of months with the weight loss.

I can see why Si isn't on board but I know you will make the right decision for you (bear)
-
Ahhh. Is he going to the appointment with you tomorrow Maybe a chat with the neurologist will sort everything out and you’ll both be on the same page.

Well done sweetie on the loss, sounds like it may be a plan
-
Yep, he’s coming to the appointment and we’ll sort it all out
-
I can see why you'd be wanting to make that choice....

Si was awesome! I tried to explain to the doctor how I’d been feeling on this drug but was struggling so he took over and told the doctor I’d been ‘lethargic, almost comatose’. At which point the doctor just said, we can’t have that. I’m to come off it completely and take a diuretic instead, and keep losing weight. My left eye’s swelling has gone down a bit so I am improving, which is great.
And I then dropped Si off at the train station and he called me sweetie, which he never does (inlove)

It's so lovely to hear such support. Si is great. But then look at the wonderful person he's married to.

(Kiss) you always know the right thing to say, Magie

Thats brilliant and even though he wasnt completely onboard at first its so good that he could help get across for you what the issues are hunni x
