There is no active website showcasing up-to-date information regarding #IIH in the USA. I started USA IIH to provide all patients and loved-ones with information regarding these new advances! https://t.co/KaS96Mysdl #eyetwitter#idiopathicintracranialhypertension#lowvision
Prof Sinclair discussing that doctors do not know which is the best procedure for #IIH and it’s important to understand there is equipoise. Clinical teams must not bias patients. @IIHUK@UHBNeurosurgery
We’re very excited about this upcoming clinical trial on PLEX for severe optic neuritis and transverse myelitis, and think it will have a similar impact to the landmark Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial!
Fantastic work by our Peter Reddingius - Well done!

During your PhD, you’re gonna fail a lot, and that’s fine because a PhD is about learning how to research.
You’re not expected to get everything right all the time.
In fact, if you’re not getting things wrong sometimes, then it probably means your PhD is kind of a waste of time.

My #IIH study showed that "normal" #BMI is uncommon at presentation 3.7% but should be considered.
