Howdy NaNa Christy,
My name is Michelle and I too have pseudotumor cerebri. I'm 45 and have been dx since 2000. I hated diamox so I had an LP shunt put in at the end of 2000. It was working great until recently. I think it has to do with my back deterioration. So in a few months I'll be having a vp shunt put in and a spinal fusion. Good times

Sorry about all your shunt troubles.I was fortunate to go good for so long.
look forward to hearing from you
Michelle
