- Quick question, has anyone noticed weight gain after shunt surgery? I thought I was good, especially as I've been moving around more and being cautious about processed food and no gluten, or at least very little. Yesterday at the doctor office...
- Quick question...as all of my doctors are gone for the day. As the morning and now afternoon has progressed my head has gotten worse. I looked down at my hands a couple minutes ago and they were purple and swelling, my legs were very swollen this...
- I had an appt with the neurologist last week, and I don't really know what to think. After shunt surgery, I did great for about two months. I began talking about driving, working, etc. well, in December, my head pain came back. It was the same...
- So yesterday was a good day, and I was excited. When I went to bed I had definite head pain, but was determined Not to let it spoil my good day. The ice and sleet moved in last night - and the longer I'm up, the worse my head feels. As we wait...
- Ugh!!!! This stuff drives me bonkers some...ok most days. I've had some weirdness going on, some high pressure symptoms, and yesterday an appointment with the neurologist. Weirdness - I freeze when talking and can't remember words for objects and...
- I had a moment of clarity earlier today, and hopefully this will make sense... For those of you who are new, and those who have been around for awhile - we all have this "thing" (disgusted face) in common. We may be different in hundreds of other...
- Ok, I admit I'm an odd duck, but I have a question that I've wondered for too long about. After shunt surgery, has anyone else noticed changes in their urine? I know - way too much of an over share, and I apologize I really do. I'm just going...
- In December, they put me in the hospital over night thinking something was wrong with my shunt, thankfully it was ok. However, the neuropsych came in and told me my brain was basically "wigging out" causing head pain. For at least the short term,...
- I have questions - lots of them and they seem to be just rolling around in the stew of brain muck that is my head right now. If you can follow this broken train of thought, we know one common trait we all have is high intracranial pressure - among...
- I love when our doctors tell us to expect the very things that would send everyone else to the emergency room. Extreme head pain? Don't take pain meds unless you have to. Tingling in your face (arms, legs, etc)? Just keep track of it. Oh you...
- I am having trouble remembering, or making sense of, head pain. As I've been whining on here about, I've got a doozy and can NOT get rid of it. With Thanksgiving (hope everyone had a great one) and family I tried to just push through it (bad...
- I think I've hit a snag on the whole get better process, but I'm not sure. Background - I had lp shunt surgery 10/7, and while I can't say it's been super easy I've been doing a LOT better. Last week though I noticed I had sinus pressure which has...
- Ok, so I'm 2.5 weeks out of shunt surgery and thankfully I am doing a LOT better. I know I'm still healing, and its a process, and it seems to be going SO slow. Last night, and this morning though I noticed that my abdomen seems swollen on the...
- I went to the NS today to get the lovely staples out and found out he has an order for physical therapy to be started in the next week or so (yay me, not). Has anyone else had to do PT after LP shunt surgery? If so, what kind of "joy and...
- I had an LP shunt placed last Monday and am very thankful to say as soon as I woke up I could see clearly and have been seeing that way since. Thank goodness for old posts! I have had lots of questions about how and why and is this ok and by...
