Pseudotumor Cerebri
"I am almost 20 years old and was diagnosed about 3.5-4 weeks ago. I got a lumbar puncture and then started Diamox and it has been an awful experience.The first week and a half I was severely  exhausted had nausea and the taste issue and basically wasn&#039;t functional. Then for about a week or so I seemed to be getting better until a few days ago when I&#039;ve been very rapidly getting new symptoms/side effects like severe joint pain, itchy scalp, and waking up with my eyelids swollen half shut and then this morning my lips where extremely swollen. I had to go to the ER to make sure it wasn&#039;t an allergic reaction but it seems to be just a weird reaction to the meds (not allergic). I hate it. If I didn&#039;t have to take it, I wouldn&#039;t."
