Summer of 2015 (even before really but didn't acknowledge til then) I noticed increased headaches and visual symptoms but None of the drs. could figure out what was up. October 2015 is when my Pulsatile tinnitus started. 24/7 whooshing in my left ear. It became my mission to make it go away. I was diagnosed officially in April 2016 WITH IIH after a ton of tests and spinal tap, opening pressure of 34. Started diamox, had no changes. Found a Neurosurgeon who could put in a stent after reaching out to a woman I found on this site and had my stent put in Jan 3, 2017. Whooshing is gone. IIH not completely resolved (other side needs to be stented)
