Neuro told me to lose 10% of my body weight to send iih into remission. went from 97kg to 78kg with a mprovement but not remission by far. continue to lose weight? will it go into remission?

You are proceeding in a positive direction which may indeed improve your IIH, but really unclear if this will accomplish a full remission. Nonetheless, you will likely feel better and will have better odds at preventing obscrurational episodes and stabilizing visual risk factors. Keep working on you body weight and the best of luck.
