my sister

My sister went in last week for a routine eye exam, and found out she had this
Papilledema

She had an MRI last not and got the results today. There isn't a brain tumor, which is great news.
Thought the cause of this could be a list of things that aren't so great.
It seems they *think* this is what she has, though more testing will need to be done.
Pseudotumor Cerebri

I'm hoping it's nothing to bad, and it's treatable!
I'm worried for her.

Oh no! Thats good it's not a brain tumor though..but from reading and trying to understand that second link..it looks like drugs is the first treatement..though they can't stay on that..and then a shunt is used? Its so full of big words that it's very hard to understand. Will loosing weight help since they say that is who it often occurs in?
