I need to lose weight.  Period.I have a rare disease called Intracranial Hypertension. Which means I have too much cranial fluid on my brain.  Which causes severe headaches and also affects your optic nerve.  I was diagnosed January 2008.  One usually gets this condition if they are overweight. It is not known why mostly women who are overweight get this disease.  If I lose weight I can make this disease go into remission.  So you see, I need to lose weight so that I do not have to suffer daily painful headaches (worse than migraines).  This disease has already affected my eyesight.  I see three dimensional spots and they are getting worse and my visual field is worsening because of so many "pasty" spots.  So, if I lose weight I am hoping and praying that my eyesight returns to normal and that the headaches go away so that I can return to a normal lifestyle.I have HBP and high cholesterol and high triglyerides as well.  So, losing weight should lower everything.
