Default Psuedotumor Cerebri

My daughter was first diagnosed with Psuedotumor five years ago. She was treated with medicine for those five years and had many Spinal Taps to relieve the fluids. I started to see her personality change in those five years. Her Dr. finally tried to put a stint in, but it did not work. Last year she finally had a shunt put in. Last week she ended up in the ER. She said it felt like something popped behind her eye, she was seeing spots, and also had a horrible headache. After 11 hours in the ER they finally gave her a Spinal Tap and took fluid. We are still not sure what happened. One thing I have noticed about her is that her personality has changed DRASTICALLY!!!. It started about the time she was diagnosed. Has anyone experience this?
I thought that when a shunt was put in that was suppose to take care of the fluid.
