I was diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri. i just started the meds friday. is there anything i can do to help with the headaches until the meds kick in?

Maybe: Your headaches are likely secondary to increased intracranial pressure and other than analgesic meds, such as narcotics, you likely will have pain for a while. But during this time, a low salt diet will help, and a decrease in fluid intake may make a difference. Try elevating your head when laying supine. Hope you feel better.
