    • Close Hydrocephalus

      I was born with aqueduct steno sis and for 26 years I was told that all my headaches and loss of sight were in my imagination. I met a wonderful dr that actually cared about his patients and ordered a ct and found that all but my 3rd ventricular were closed a shunt was placed but 2 days after the placement I got an abscess in my abdomen I spent 3 and half months in the hospital. when I left I vowed to never return. Just this Jan I had to have it revised and I am finding hard to move forward.

      Treatments

      Shunts Working / Worked
      I am finding that I have more side effects from the new revision than before I am told it is because of my age51
      Caffeine Working / Worked
      the caffeine keeps the ventricles dry so the shunt does not have to work so hard. I believe that is why my last shunt lasted for 25 years.
