Hello-
My name is Lynn and my boyfriend was recently diagnosed with
hydrocephalus at the age of 22. It is likely that he has had the
condition for years, but was continuously misdiagnosed throughout
childhood. We are relieved to finally know the source of his
problems, but are uncertain where to go from here.
After seeing several neurologists and doctors we have been given two
completely different opinions. We have been told that he is not a
candidate for a shunt by some doctors, while others claim he is a
perfect candidate! I guess I'm just wondering if contradictory
opinions like these are common. This large difference between
professional medical advice has me confused about what our next step
should be.
Any personal advice or suggested reading would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Lynn
