BYE BYE FAKE BRAIN TUMOR!!!

I have...correction...HAD a fake brain tumor. Yes a FAKE brain tumor. Pseudotumor Cerebri-(in short additional fluid on brain causing effects of a tumor) tell me that doesn't mean FAKE BRAIN TUMOR! Seriously they could sooo have been more creative. At least it sounds snazzy right?

OK not s snazzy when they tell you either have a brain tumor a a fake brain tumor and your options are:
1. Brain Surgery
2. Spinal Tap


Is there a 3? -Nope so I had to get my MRI's (head in a freaking LOUD machine that I am totally claustrophobic in -and I am not claustrophobic)  praying it's not brain surgery or a spinal tap and they made a HUGE mistake!


MRI's DONE! Spinal tap it was! Horrible, it was. Spinal headaches made me unable to move literally for a week and new meds made me have to pee like there was no tomorrow and tingle all over.


I was told to lose weight or be on the meds forever.


2 years of yoyo weight loss and gain then finally a life change that would stick.


60 lbs lighter and still losing- healthier than ever(ish) I am finally able to say bye bye to the fake brain tumor. It's officially G-O-N-E!!!!!

Next month I get to say bye bye to the blood chemistry altering meds! 

BYE BYE FAKE BRAIN TUMOR! 
Good Riddance!

I was reading this and freaking out a bit....we have much in common you and me! When I was 20 docs thought I had a tumor in my pituitary gland, had an MRI...twice...yes me too on the claustrophobia, the first one was inconclusive and then the second one they injected me with dye! Anyway I was fine...but I was freaked out!

I am so happy 60 lbs is so awesome and you must feel so awesome! ♥ ya girl!
