Ian, I'm glad you got removal. I to, have a strata valve and it has lost it's setting twice now. I go back on the 25th of June for another check up. The on-going headaches are getting to be really tiring! Unfortunately, because I'm shunt dependent, I can't have mine removed. So far I take norco for the headaches, but due to it's addictive nature, I'm trying other meds. I"m hoping to get one that works soon.
