So I went to see my neurologist today to ensure I can stay off my Pseudotumor cerebri (brain swelling) medications. He said that based on the optic nerve scans (which is how they monitor this), I actually have IMPROVED since last time - and last time I saw him I was on medication! He did say that the main key to curing this was losing weight, so I'm probably seeing an improvement because I have lost weight!
I love that all of my hard work has paid off in a way I never expected. I didn't think I'd ever hear anyone say I have improved the pressure on my optic nerve!!!
So most of you will probably be saying "huh??" at this stage, but that's okay, I'm excited and I am sure you are excited for me! :)
Biggest loser starts at work tomorrow, so I'm gonna drink as much water as I can before I weigh in, and hopefully lose the highest percentage of weight loss in my office!
Onwards to working out and eating responsibly tomorrow!
