Hello,
After suffering with headaches and vision problems for the past year, I was diagnosed late July 08 with Pseudotumor Cerebri/IH. My opening pressure upon diagnoses was around 24 and the papillidema was pretty severe. ( no damage though). Since then, I have had one more spinal tap in the end of september, which caused a leak...and symptoms which had finally subsided are back and the pressure/vision problems are worse. While I am not that overweight, I do need to lose around 25lbs. to be down to 120. I have been like a convalescent since my diagnosis...not really doing anything strenuous. No stairs...long walking...etc. I need to excercise and am wondering if Yoga would be recommended for someone with my condition. I just want to do something that will not only shape me up physically, but also mentally. Also, I am still having pain and spasms in the LP/Bloodpatch area. How long does that area take to heal? ( It has been about one month)
Kind Regards,
Denise
