hi i have 2 shunts one in the front of my brain and one in the back
and they drain into the main shunt system in my stomach i have been
getting severe headaches after my last revision and it feels like my
shunt hasnt been working again but ive had xrays and ct scans and
theres nothing wrong with the shunt my neuro says but i feel horrible
like pressure headaches i feel really tired too through out the day my
neuro keeps taking pregnancy tests but im not pregnant i feel like its
all in my head i dont know what to do ive pretty much given up i might
need a diffrent pressure valve.

sometimes its the pressure valve as you get older you need a shunt
that drains slower,ive gone through everything uv gone through tho but
at a younge age
