Re: [hydrocephalus] (unknown)

you might not feel good still because you might need a diffrent pressure valve. their are diffrent pressures .5 1.0 and 2.0 and they work to fit your body so if you still have headaches and your shunt looks fine to the drs talk about this

Hi, I am new to this group. I was decompressed( for Chiari Malformation) in 1-08. Then in April I had a VP shunt put in for hydro-PCT. I had a shunt replacement on Oct. 15th, because it had shut down and clogged up. Then 2 weeks later it was bad again. So on Oct.2nd, my NS replaced it again. I am still not feeling well at all. After the first replacement, I felt a difference immediately. This time is awful. Could it be because it is sooooo close together? Or could it be it is not working right again? Any help would be apprecciatted, please. How many shunts have you had replaced? Thanks for all your help. Good day, Erin
