IIH is typically for life, although there are people that go into remission & are never bothered by it again. Most of us learn to identify triggers & adjust our lifestyles. It is possible to study, work, marry, have children, & live an active life with proper treatments. I encourage you to check out the Useful Guides & Printout section..I Have IIH- A New Way of Life may help answer some questions. You can also go to

Hope you feel better soon!
Take care,
