I have had extreme headaches for almost two weeks. I have spent alot of time resting in bed, until my head hurts of course, then wondering what to do with the hurting headache that never seems to go away. I have been to the ER, where my NS said my head CT showed overdrainage, and reset my shunt valve from 12 to 15. My pain is still here, so I went for another head CT today, and another shunt valve resetting will take place tomorrow. I cannot work like this, but I am considered a "disabled" person by the government, getting SSDI funds, which will allow me to stay out of work for a couple of weeks. No one should have this kind of pain, even if it is a malfunctioning shunt!
