Is there any relation between intracranial pressure(pseudo tumor cerebri) and positive ANA???
I have been battling a variety of symptoms since May 2007 - the main symptoms being facial pressure, pressure or fullness in my head/feeling like not getting enough oxygen in my head or something, dizziness/foggy feeling. I also have reoccuring headaches due to neck and back problems(car accident from childhood), sore joints, fatigue etc.. which from what I read really does seem to fit the description for pseudo tumor cerebri and intracranial pressure. I have posted in another area too before,.. all common tests (MIR, CT, ENG) have come back fine. So now I am wondering about this PTC. I have loosely seen this mentioned with positive ANA, so I am wondering if anyone knows if there is any relation between the two? I was diagnosed a few years back with ANA and pretty much nothing more seemed to come of that.
I feel like I have to research and come up with possibilities on my own since doctors aren't very efficient at it and I am now waiting until April to get back in with my neurologist.
