Here is what I found helpful. Starting with unhelpful things.

Not good for me:

- Coffee
- Forces working on my head neck (e.g. from car driving, walking/running)
- Sitting upright
- concentration tasks (already much better since last surgery)

Helpful was/is:

- Lying elevated head, body or sitting lyed back in a TV seat (heard that jugulars are mostly used when you are lyed down completely)

- back stroke swimming (with rubber swim cap is good, maybe the compression?)

- resting after activities (listen to your body)

- staying hydrated

- blood thinners (Xa-Factor inhibitors)

- Osteopathy

- Neural Therapy

- fresh garlic (among other things lowers blood pressure)

- Vitamin ADEK supplements (after being in a long term pain condition took that as a vitamin cure for 30 days)

- Vitamin B complex for nerve healing (look for Vitamin B6 blood level when taking longer, that can be too much at some point)

- Magnesium supplements

- Omega 3 supplements (be careful with blood thinners)

- CBD capsules (at least 40mg per dose up to 160mg; when legal available!) [unfortunately only found very expensive CBD products when I was in California]

- medical marijuana, indica strains containing the terpenes Myrcene, Pinene, Linalool (only use legal medical marijuana if allowed in your state; there is one case report where it helped with IIH)

- 
  - lavender pills containing oil and extract (good calming effect (Linalool))

- 
  - mangos (containing Myrcene)

- eating ice pops, water ice

That’s it. If I can think of anything else, I’ll be happy to add it. I hope there is something that brings you some help.
