Re: Psuedo Tumor Cerebri - Are There ANY Cures?????

Hi all!

I'm a 35 y/o female diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri in may this year. I had a constant headache for about 3 weeks and ALOT of visual problems, as well as hypertension that came out of no where. I was put on 1,000 milligrams of diamox and am doing really well with that, only the tingling feet and hands off and on throughout the day. My question is, Does anyone know for certain whether or not this is hereditary? I have an 11 y/o daughter that has had a diagnosis of "migraines" since she was 7 y/o, we've tried all the meds for childhood migraines, and also the allergy route has been done, MRI's show up negative, and she complains of a daily headache that is worse with increased activity, heat, etc. she already wears glasses and still has the visual problems.....any help would be great, I'm at a loss, and I don't want her doctor to think I've finally gone off the deep end...
Thanks,
