Hey! I’m in the process of getting a diagnosis. My eye doctor spotted papilledema, but no signs on my MRI scan. My doctor placed an order for a spinal tap, but my neurologist said there’s no reason to get it because I’m not overweight. She said that the only reason why she believes I don’t qualify is because I’m not overweight. Maybe I don’t have the right information, but do you have to be overweight in order to have IIH? Anyone here who is not overweight and has been diagnosed?

tyia!!
