Legal Declarations:
- If I'm ever unable to make my own medical decisions, and they offer a lumbar puncture, I do NOT want one.
Things I suspect it could be:
- Chiari Malformation
Stomach Surgery Concerns:
- I drink tons of water -- which on this I won't be able to after surgery.
- I already have issues with not absorbing B-12 -- which if I don't start having better luck with it can cause me to have Neuropathies
- (Neuropathies damage or dysfunction of one or more nerves that typically results in numbness, tingling, muscle weakness and pain in the affected area)
Blood Tests Results:
IIH (Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension):
- There is no cure for IIH.
- Weight-loss + Surgery to place stents can help.
- Lumbar punctures can temporarily-alleviate symptoms. BUT I recieve them, because of my Low-lying Cerebellar Tonsils, which would likely cause my Brain to Herniate.
