Bill, they DID test for Lyme & it was negative. Her spinal fluid looked perfect & they tested for Meningitis - both bacterial & viral & both negative. Social disease is a negative - she does not have any "boyfriends" at all so I'm not even considering that (don't worry no offense taken). Heavy metal poisioning I can't say for sure, but they supposedly considered everything & tested for all possible causes, & they have concluded a Pseudo Tumor. Here is a reply from a "brain scientist" from another forum I posted on:
It sounds very much like pseudotumor cerebri. For some reason this condition is more common in young girls than boys and specifically, girls of jewish origins.
It is related to reduced ability of absorbing cerebro-spinal fluid which leads to a build up of the intracranial pressure. Typically, it resolves itself but sounds like your daugther needs further evaluation and potentially a neurosurgery which will place a pressure regulated shunt to drain excess CSF.
Anyway, thanks for your input everybody. I'll post significant updates as they develop.
