  • Laverne Tucker
    i n s i g h t s A newsletter of VISIONS/Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired Fall/Winter 2010 Laverne Tucker The first person you meet when you walk through VISIONS’ doors is our receptionist, Laverne Tucker. Laverne began with VISIONS in September of 2009, and one thing you notice immediately about her is how serene, pleasant and gentle she is. What a pleasure it is to be greeted by her every morning! Laverne is a life-long New Yorker, born and raised in Harlem. She lives in a tight knit community, and growing up, she was always the one taking care of the kids in the neighborhood, and sharing laugh- ter and her love of music with others. She is also known as the one who will “lend you a hand” when the going gets rough. Laverne Tucker In February 1984, when she was just 15 years old, she started to get headaches and mysterious pains on her sides. Her vision began to blur, so she began the arduous process of visiting several doctors as her vision continued to deteriorate. Finally after several examinations, she was diagnosed with Pseudotumor cerebri. This condition increases the pressure (intracranial pressure) inside the skull for no apparent reason. Symptoms mimic those of a brain tumor, but no tumor is present. Pseu- dotumor cerebri can occur in children and adults, but it is most common in overweight women of child- bearing age. Although the condition can be treated, in some cases the increased pressure can cause swelling of the optic nerve and result in vision loss.
