My name is April. I am 24 years old. I was diagnosed with PTC in 2002, during the final months of my senior year of high school. It started with headaches, nausea, and then my vision started getting progressively worse. It took a few weeks to get a definitive diagnosis. I had one spinal tap, and many visual field tests. I was told that because my PTC had progressed so far, I would not regain any of my vision. I believe in the power of prayer, and that is what my church family did. I am not telling this to offend anyone, so if you do not want to read any further don't feel obligated to. I know people with PTC can get better, but what God did for me was a miracle! The doctors were telling me I would have to have surgery, and even then I would still have significant visual impairment. I am happy to report I never had to have surgery, my vision came back, and I have not relapsed. It has been seven years, and I am thankful everyday that I am still alive, and that God is still helping me!
