The Devil Drug (Diamox)
I was diagnosed last week. 42 opening pressure. Yippee.
And of course, I’ve been prescribed Diamox. First 500mg then three days later 1000mg and now next week I’m to start taking 1500mg per day but I’m having a weird experience with no appetite.
Among other symptoms—painful tingling in my feet, extreme exhaustion, muscle cramps, etc—my brain and body seem to now be on completely different pages hunger-wise.
In fact, they may be reading different books at this point. I can feel hunger in my body but have little interest in food, if that makes sense. I feel the hunger cues but my brain is like 🦗🦗🦗
Idk, minor in the grand scheme of things but very annoying on the day-to-day. Has anyone else experienced this taking Diamox? Should I be drinking more water or something?
