Psuedo tumor cerebri during pregnancy

I was recently diagnosed with PTC in November 2004. At the same time I realized I was pregnant with my third child. The pregnancy was the exciting news, however, that has limited my treatment options. I have had an attempt at a spinal tap, which was very painful and unsuccessful. I have seen several specialists, and so far nobody has been able to give me any relief. I started taking a medication called Diazide, which made the headaches worse, had nausea, leg cramps, vision was getting more blurry. I just turned 25, and from what I have read, there is no cure for this problem. I am in desperate need of some help. I have an 8 and 6 year old right now, and can't really afford to stay in bed in pain all the time. Not to mention I will be having another baby to take care of soon enough. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
