Hi. Only 29 and in great pain. I have those terrible headaches and my eyes hurt so bad I think they will simply like pop out. Then, I feel tingling in my forehead and my vision is blurred. Think I`m going blind or something. Anyway, went to see my doc, and was diagnosed with Tolosa-Hunt syndrome. Like, never heard. Is it fatal? Will I go blind? I was prescribed with Prednisone.

Hi. It`s not fatal man. Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is an inflammation of the cavernous sinus, a pretty rare disorder characterized by headaches and pain in the eye, weakness and paralysis. You should be fine with the treatment (if not, you will go blind). Treatment includes steroid meds, such as Prednisone. It may take months to resolve your vision problem. In some cases, the symptoms never really go away completely.
