Yes, you can be happy with intracranial hypertension. Upon diagnosis it might feel like your world has come crashing down but I promise you it won't. Once you find a balance of CSF pressure reducing medications/doses and/or painkillers etc life becomes much more bearable. Regular neurology and ophthalmology appointments will help reassure you and keep your mind at rest. Your neurologists and other sufferers will be valuable resources to you. Please do not feel like you can't reach out to them. The hopeless feelings pass. Please do not suffer in silence
