Hi Cara, I was alone in the world with the PTC as well and was lying down watching this last year and this came up on my Tv.......my name is Cara as well...it was really weird to watch someone with the same thing, when I haven't met a single person in the world with this either and thought I was 1 of 100 people that only had it.....it was good to know I wasn't crazy :)

Best of lukc to you

Cara, I just watched you on an episode of Mystery Diagnosis. I to was diagnosed with Psuedo Tumor Ceribri in 2003, I was also told I could possibly have a brain tumor by an Opthomologist, I can relate to your pain! I was told I was not to have children and would have to take meds forever. I have two children and I am completely off of my meds.

I wish you the best.
