Perhaps I should have posted in this place first, I'm SO HAPPY that a success section exists on this website! SO often I hear the most horrible terrible sad stories about IIH, and sometimes I feel like a jerk for sharing how fantastic my life has been in the last little while, and now there's a place I don't have to feel so bad for being happy about it!
The last time I saw my Neurologist, he told me that he felt I was managed enough that I didn't need to see him again, unless I was having problems. My shunt and the Topamax are both working well enough to keep me in check, and feeling perfectly fine. NO shunt problems, and it's been just over a year. I do still see the Neuro Ophthalmologist, at first it was once every 3 months, now it's once every 6 months, and maybe after this next time it will be once a year. But I feel fantastic! I'm no longer blind, I'm back in school, and clicky high heel shoes don't make me cringe anymore. I have my life back. I couldn't be more grateful.

We LOVE to hear the success stories..thanks for sharing!!! And,

I agree we love love love this success shares. Thank you for sharing yours.

Thanks for giving us something to hope for. I'm right there with the clickclacky high heels and the sound of icecubes into an empty plastic tumbler.

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It gives a lot of hope to others who are still suffering with IIH. *hugs*
