The story of Cheryl

I have been living with Idiopathic intracranial hypertension for three years. Currently managed with meds, but symptoms keep returning. My most prevalent symptom is a constant headache that is a level 3 on a good day and a level 10 on bad days. 

 

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a neurological disorder characterized by isolated increased intracranial pressure manifesting with recurrent and persistent headaches, nausea, vomiting, progressive and transient obstruction of the visual field, papilledema. Visual loss can be irreversible.
