No more meds!!!

It was hard, but I started by cutting out my life saving caffeine. I found out that while it helps the headaches, it hurts my PseudoTumor by increasing the amount of fluid I have and possibly the pressure, as well.

Once I was off caffeine for a few weeks, I began stepping down my meds. That was hard, as I started getting headaches almost immediately. I kept up, though, using nothing more than Aleve or Motrin for them. I won’t lie, I was not a happy camper, but I had to try.

25mg at a time, I cut down on the dosage and stayed there for just over a week. I wanted my body to normalize the changes.

Today, I am 1 week med free. I’ve had to take my aleve once or twice, but that’s it. Hopefully, this will continue. Tim and I would like to have another child at some point, and I can’t be on medication when we do.
