By: LaRita


 I was a young mom. I had my first child at 20. Although it isn't a teen Mom, it was young for me. I used to be able to walk, I wouldn't get out of breath etc. I gained alot of weight with my first child and couldn't lose it. I had a c-section as well. Then I started having prism like visions on the one dude of my head followed by severe headaches. No doctor could help me. I tried several medications and nothing. I then took it upon myself to go see a Nero. He then proceeded to tell me that I had was pseudo tumor ceribi. Yes, it scared me. He then informed me it was because I had put on too much weight and my body frame couldn't handle it. He then sent me to get a lumbar puncture. He wasn't the doctor there. But I had an amazing doctor that couldn't believe that he didn't give me atleast a cat scan first. So he did that and then my lumbar. My pressure was off the charts. So I started to see that Nero. Many lumbar punctures later, meds that I never heard of, weight loss etc and I still suffer. I have lupus, tachacardia, carpal tunnel, rheumatoid arthritis, kidney problems, abs, extreme fatigue, extremely heavy periods with severe pain, weakness in my whole body and I am only 44 years old.
