    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.

    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.

    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

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