- I went to the casino last night for the second time this week. Ugh! I should've been happy since I won quite a bit, but I ended up gambling it back and now, I feel so mad at myself and guilty. Why can't I just walk away with my winnings?? It makes...
- I had an LP shunt revision surgery done last week to have the tubing from my spine to the shunt valve replaced. I was admitted for observation and then it became inpatient because I had a headache and my spinal incision was leaking fluid and I was...
- I received a copy of my head CT and it says, "Early, but age appropriate bifrontal atrophy is seen with widening of the interhemispheric fissure".Does anyone know what this means??Thanks!
- I went to the casino tonight and once again, I was winning quite a bit and then gambled it all away. Plus, I ended up gambling away an additional few hundred dollars in addition to it. I came home and told my spouse and you could see the...
- I'm so frustrated with myself. I've had a lot more stress in my life lately. So, I've been taking out my fellings at the casino. I went there tonight and thought of just spending a small amount, but we know how that goes...well, after spending all...
- Has anyone with an LP shunt ever had sudden onset of abdominal pain around the tubing area on the right side? It all started yesterday with some dizziness and then the pain was gradual and I don't believe I'm constipated. I'm wondering if it even...
- I, of course, stopped at the casino tonight and thought I would just spend $20 to $40 and leave, but it turned into $100 and then, I won a bunch and should have gone home, but that switch in my head said to keep going and I lost it all. I could...
- Hi everyone - Bad day today because I'm having neck pain that is at the base of my skull and radiates up. Typical PTC with shunt day for me with a barometric change. My last LP revision was in July 2014 and I'm always afraid when I get these...
- So, I went to the casino and was just planning to spend $40, but of course, I spent more. At one time, I won back what I had lost, but kept playing on..Then, I went to a $5 machine and won quite a bit and played it all back and now, I'm down $ and...
- Hi everyone - I'm new to the group and not sure if I'm posting this to the correcct group. I've never smoked and my husband quit smoking about 8 years ago and I keep having random low pulse-ox (in the 80's). I've also had shortness of breath and...
- HI everyone -Hope everyone is having a headache free day :) I'm curious to know if anyone ever experiences back pain in the area of their lp shunt? Yesterday, I noticed as the day went on, I started having back pain in the area of my lp...
- Hi everyone - I woke up with cold symptoms this morning with a sore throat, etc. Since I have a shunt, should I ask for antibiotics? Last thing I want is to get my shunt infected :-/Thanks!
- Hi all - I'm new to the group and I'm hoping I can find some answers to help calm my nerves. I recently had a Pulmonary Function Test done because I have had a history of low pulse-ox before and after surgeries. My doctor had me get this test...
- I'm four weeks post-op with my LP shunt valve revision and have been feeling pretty good until last night when I started getting a migraine, and then, I have vertigo this morning and still have it. I'm still having blurred vision in my right eye...
- Has anyone had a total hysterectomy and have PCOS? I had my hysterectomy (due to severe endometriosis) about 10 years ago and also, have PCOS and I've gained so much weight since then...I'm on 500 mg of Metformin (Glucophage) and try to follow...
