Hi Diana. I am getting my bloods done in a few days so I will make sure to get them to check my levels. I have seen your videos about counteracting acidity and I am eating a high alkaline diet and using alkaline water drops, I will order some sodium bicarbonate tablets too.

I think what I’m concerned about is that I don’t need the Diamox, they did an LP and opening pressure was 19 but still I present with symptoms so I’m on a trial. Like I said before my symptoms don’t neatly fit with IIH and my pressure reading normal. My neurologist signed me off to the care of my GP who has never heard of Diamox before, so I am feeling very lost. The fact that you reply is incredible, it makes me feel less on my own with things and I know you can’t diagnose e.t.c but your opinion means a lot, so thank you for being so supportive on this forum.
