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.
IIH: Cough

Video 4: First visit to my neurologist
First visit to a neurologist at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital (now Presbyterian New York Hospital).

It becomes real!
Please be aware that during this video I discuss a lumbar puncture/spinal tap procedure (not in detail).
