Aww, cripes. I didn't know I'd have to write a description. How many words is that so far, like a hundred? Soooo, yeah. Mildly interesting stuff. Stuff that interests you. Mildly. It's in the name, ffs.

First, just want to say thanks to this sub again as always! So many posts and comments recommended seeing a neurointerventional radiologist, and I had to push and push for the referral, and it did not disappoint.
He was so much more knowledgeable and understanding than any specialist I've seen. I had already done a ton of reading about stents, here are a few things the doc told me about IIH and stents that I didn't already know:
-
There isn't research yet on patients being taken off of low-dose aspirin, which is why most docs at this time plan to keep patients on aspirin for life unless/until more research is published.
-
Much of what we know about the long-term risks of stents is extrapolated from artery stents, which have been around much longer.
-
Lumbar punctures are very often done incorrectly, and many many patients with IIH are not properly diagnosed due to false pressure readings. Neurointerventional radiologists often see these patients for pulsatile tinnitus only to discover that they also have IIH despite having a "normal" LP reading. This doc insisted that LPs really should be done on your side for a proper reading, LPs done while seated or lying on your stomach can produce artificially low pressure readings.
Just thought I'd share these tidbits that I learned and didn't remember already seeing on this sub. He also told me a lot more about angiograms and pressure gradients and stent candidacy, but I think those topics have been thoroughly covered in lots of other posts.
I have a lot to think about now, as the doc left it up to me whether to pursue a stent or try another medication increase. I have decision fatigue after 5 months of preoccupation with this condition... sigh.

1/10 Do not recommend.
On the plus side, I have a good heart - much to my ex wife's surprise.

Had an angiogram yesterday at Foothills medical center. When asked if I wanted something to reduce my stress and anxiety during the procedure, I said yes and They gave me Fentanyl. Awesome. Good times, good times.

Just left an appointment with my neurosurgeon after having an angiogram last week, and here are a few things I learned I thought people might be interested in.
So, I have a right side stenosis, the vein leading away from my brain is pinched causing the buildup of CSF in my head. They took a pressure reading in my head - 38. The reason lumbar punctures would come back less bad is they were below the kink - things can equalize once theyre below the kink - you sometimes need to go into the head to get an accurate reading.
Why isnt the diamox and topamax getting this number lower? Im on a lot. The body needs CSF, it isnt gonna just stop producing it no matter how much you take. its just gonna lower it a little. Also, the kink is backing up the fluid, and is going to keep backing up the fluid. Some people have a much bigger right tranverse sinus than left, and Im one of them, so when the right kinked, the left just wasnt big enough to take over the flow. Huge back up regardless.
The stent should open things up and resolve the issue. When they see potential issues on the other side kinking after stenting one side - its when both are equally open - stent one side - the other may kink. When theres a dominant side that side kinks and then gets stented, its unlikely that the tiny side then kinks.
Hope this helps!

It went well and easy. Thank you to everyone that told me it would be all right.
Initial results are that no abnormalities were found. Everything was nice and smooth. So now we are back to not knowing why the strokes happened.
