Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension/Benign Intracranial Hypertension
Update on my May VA shunt surgery. It has barely been six months and this new shunt has failed again. My body seems to be in the small group that loves obstructing the end of the tubing not allowing the free flow of intracranial fluid.
It is really difficult to hear the news yet again. But all I can do is look for new alternatives and keep on moving forward.
After yet another Lumbar Puncture procedure for IIH, results show that the VA shunt placed during the May surgery is not functioning correctly and further procedures are required. These news have been difficult to take. Please join me in a discussion of the present situation.
After a hiatus, I have decided to share with you not only the joy of ‘getting better’ but also the bumps on the road and the fall backs. Here I am again to give anecdotes and stories that may make you laugh, think, or perhaps even shed a tear. As always, many hugs to all of you!
