  1. Hi 

    I had visual disturbances after a while of inactivity & weight gain one summer which I thought was ocular migraine as I had had it in pregnacys before but it would go by the end of the day but this one didn't go so they found optic nerve swelling at the the back of my eyes mostly left eye and did a load of tests including a lumbar puncture which straight away Got rid of the visual disturbances and the water retention and some of the excess water weight 

    I was then diagnosed with iih 

    They trialed me on acetazolomide 

    But that made my whole body tighten up and spasm and mainly kidneys 

    So I stopped that

    Lost some weight

    Tried spironalactone 

    As I also had a large cyst on ovary causing excess testosterone 

    But that caused me to feel like my head was too heavy for my body and like I couldn't stand

     

    In the end I just lost the weight which seemed to help 

    But then when the cold weather started up around Christmas u started to get shakes in my legs and arms around night them really bad headaches and chest pain

     

    I went into hospital again 

    I felt too sick to eat or drink much

    So after this lumbar puncture 

    It was actually low

    Not high like the first one I had with the eye symtpms 

    I thought I might have a spinal leak from the lumber puncture testing 

     

    But in the end I was diagoosed with dysautonomia or pots

     

     

    But mystery optic nerves was not swollen anymore

    but my pulse would for fast qhick at times of standing up 

    This has gone down a bit now

    But now I get tremor upon waking almost every night

    not sleep to Wake mode it happens 

    I wake tired still with a sore throat headache and neck ache 

     

    I only get chest pain on exertion now 

     

    I'm awaiting a 5 day heart test 

    At the moment I have been inactive due to lockdown

    And waking up with heavy head

    Dizzy 

    Eyes flitting

    And head heavy
