Proctalgia Fugaz is a fancy word for ..uhm....well... I will let you all look it up..
So I was just told that my lp shunt tubing and the fluid dripping in to my stomach might be causing this condition. Is anyone else having this issue?
I also want to share something that has me scared. Some of you know that I am a manager of a Warranty department. I work full time and have been able to keep my department up and running even during my worst time dealing with PTC. Well, today I was lost, Something that was done just on Friday, I thought it happened a few weeks ago. I kept making mistakes that brought attention from my department. This is not me, I am always able to solve a problem or create, revise a process or procedure. Not today, I have never had this happen before. I have also been having more of an issue with my balance. I am really down right now and am crying as I type this. Because i know there is no where to turn.

as for the work related problems... something similar happened to me when this all started. I was attending community college and could not remember where my classroom was. Then after getting straight A's in my algebra class I suddenly found it difficult to do math.
Some everyday task became harder to. I would call your Neuro asap and make him aware of what is going on at work. How are you doing at work now? For me they think I may have had a TIA. I don't want to scare you but we can not just asume everything is related to IH. Hope you feel better. Paula
You probably already looked it up...for me they think the TIA was caused by a clot in my transverse sinus and the clot caused the stenonsis that they put the stent in....even though buy the time they did there scan they didn't actually see the clot...Faith I hope you are feeling better.
