Hello all! I am a new member, and newly diagnosed with IIH. I lived with all the symptoms for close to a year, and like a lot of folks, went to multiple doctors before being told by the Opthamologist that I have Papilledema, and then confirmed the diagnosis with my neuro. Either of these two doctors though seem to be very concerned, as my Ophthalmologist told me when I began to panic with the news, that it was no big deal, and after taking some pills for a few months or so, it will go away, and I will be a new woman in 2018. I had a visual field test done the day I was diagnosed, 2 months ago. Was told I have a large blind spot in my left eye. I went in again last week, where she only looked at my eyes, said the swelling has gone down a bit, see you in 6 months, and by then, you should be fine. I told her of all the eye anomalies I still see, and of the aching pain in my eyes. I told her my eyes blur when focusing on something, and light causes extreme pain in my eyes, and head. She said they will do another visual field test in 6 months. My neuro has yet to actually make time to sit down with me and tell me about IIH. I had to call his office on the phone to ask what to do after seeing the Opthamologist, and he called me in DIamox. I insisted on an appointment, and they fit me in almost 3 months after diagnosis...geese. Anyway, I guess after my own research, I am most concerned with my eyes. How often does one usually get seen by the Ophthalmologist with Papilledema? Thanks for reading, and any advice or wisdom you can give.
