Welcome all newbies! 😉 One thing that occurs fairly regularly with us is increased intracranial pressure (but sometimes spinal CSF leaks can also happen, and the symptoms are not too dissimilar). If you have headaches, neckaches, nausea, dizziness, sensitivity to light, noise, movement, get motion sick easily, get a worsening of symptoms with Valsalva (straining), the use of Diamox may be very helpful! It relieved us of numerous symptoms, quite literally, overnight… I look forward to getting out some new science and medication that will also help. MANY of us are on the autism spectrum — many of us have never been diagnosed, so you’re in good company! So glad you are here… Big hug,
