So I've been recently (officially) diagnosed with IIH and have been prescribed diamox. My problem is it's giving me the WORST headache I've ever had in my life. And the worst part about it is that it seems like nothing is helping. Pain relief meds, more water, laying down, ice pack, no light or sound, caffeine, none of it is working, and it's so draining. Usually, I don't tear up from pain, but this headache has made me cry several times. I feel hopeless. I can't get up without feeling like I'm going to fall, and I just want to live my life like I usually do. I've tried to get into contact with my doctor but she hasn't called me back yet and I called her several hours ago.

I NEED advice. I don't want to live like this for another hour, let alone another month. What should I do?
