this is not spinal tap.

I guess I should have specified... The weight loss instructions are not my doc telling me to lose weight for the sake of losing weight. I think the medical community would agree that 20 pounds in 10 weeks is unhealthy. In fact, both calorie counting apps I added to my phone won't even allow the goal. They both of told me it is unhealthy.

I have known for a couple months that something was wrong with my optic nerve. At my last eye doctor visit, it didn't look right. Yesterday, my neurologist decided on a possible diagnosis. There are two ways to end it - spinal tap that releases fluid surrounding my optic nerve, or lose a significant amount of weight. We're blowing off the spinal tap for two months, hoping that quick and significant weight loss can eliminate this issue. If my scan is awesome in October, no spinal tap. Holla!!
