Day 1 ‪- IH Awareness Month‬

"Intracranial hypertension is a condition due to high pressure within the spaces that surround the brain and spinal cord. These spaces are filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which cushions the brain from mechanical injury, provides nourishment, and carries away waste.

The most common symptoms of intracranial hypertension are headaches and visual loss, including blind spots, poor peripheral (side) vision, double vision, and short temporary episodes of blindness. Many patients experience permanent vision loss. Other common symptoms include pulsatile tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and neck and shoulder pain." https://nei.nih.gov/health/iih/intracranial

Day 1 - So basically my head feels like it's going to explode to crack itself open and for extra fun my eyes like to make two pictures and/or go blurry or lose total vision. That's my ‪#‎IH‬ today
