Was diagnosed with PTC, now known as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension NOT "Benign" and was put on Diamox in 1991 and apart from a short stint last year where I stopped for months have been on it since then. Now I have rectal bleeding and it is not colon cancer, so looking at bladder, or kidney cancer, of "Ulcerative Colitis" if I am really lucky. I am damn sure that the Azetolomide is the reason, but I am looking for other folks in the same boat. There are other symptoms like weakness, tiredness and so on, but mainly in my case, the bleeding.
