    So, Bloods have come back normal but I’ve looked again at the side effects of the drug I’m on for IIH and it can cause drowsiness and depression .....
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    OK so it could "just" be an adjustment type of thing? If it continues, what other options are there?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I dont know. I’ve left a Message with Neurology for the consultant to have a look at the facts and see what he says. I have slept about 4 hours total this afternoon - I do know I can’t carry on like this. Each day is getting more and more difficult

    If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.

    Just because it is as it is now, it doesn't mean it's always going to be like this or harder..... hang on in there Princess Sparkles. We're here to listen and to help.

    I know. Talking to Si, we’ve agreed that I won’t take the tablets until I speak to the neurologist, and see what difference that makes, if any. That way, we can see if it’s the meds are causing problems.

    In other news, Si and Katie got into a massive row last night - one of my ornaments got smashed and there’s a hole in Katie’s bedroom wall. Looking back at that it looks like they were punching each other or something - they weren’t but both were so upset they took it out on the house ....... Katie took it on herself to ‘talk’ to Jess about the issues with college and then told Si that the way this house was run was a ‘joke’. Si did not appreciate that .... he doesn’t lose his temper often so when he does it has an impact on everybody.

    I've looked back in your posts to see if I could find what meds you're on for IIH but to no avail. I'm thinking with the stress you went through with the lumbar puncture and starting with a new drug whether it is just an acclimatization process you're going through and unless you're getting severe adverse reactions you should persist with the meds until neurology get back to you. Just my thoughts if you've discussed it with Si then I respect and support your decision.

    Not good if ornaments and and walls are being damaged due to arguments that isn't going to do anyone any good.

    As Suzi says "hang on in there Princess Sparkles"
    77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

    Mike, it’s acetazolamide

    Stopping the tablets lasted 3.5 hours, at which point I lost my balance and instinctively put my weight through my bad leg (ouch). Balance and special awareness went right out of the window so cold turkey is not a good move ....
