what kind of valve in any VP shunt does anyone have?
by
I'll listen to VA shunt stories too, but I have a VP shunt w/ a programmable valve that is getting replaced soon due to headaches for eight weeks. I think the cause is overdrainage, but it was not diagnosed that way yet. I was diagnosed with slit ventricle syndrome, but my ventricles are small as well. My mom does not want me to wait two weeks to see if my headaches persist like they have for the past two days. She want me to call the NSG office on Monday, not the 28th. I hope I can get relief sooner instead of lying down all the time and putting ice on the area to get that relief!
