A member asked:
With idiopathic intracranial hypertension + prescribed weight loss. how quickly should csf pressures reduce? does it reduce as weight reduces? or only reduces when a certain weight is met? thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There does not exist a precise answer, but that should not dissuade a weight loss and fitness approach. In the long run, it is likely to help, but hard to predict the ultimate result. Discuss this and other endocrine issues with your neurologist.
