A member asked:
Can glycerol really treat pseudotumour cerebri? does it cause rebound headaches/pressure? how much would you take a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't self-treat: Drinking glycerol is an ancient emergency treatment for crisis glaucoma. There's much more to offer for pseudotumor cerebri patients, though glycerol may be used by your physician in an emergency situation.
