The specialist had told me that people by the time they are 30 that they have had their shunt changed at least twice. I was wondering, has the materials made to make a shunt changed in the last 30 years? My valve is always opened and the Doctors don't have a reason to how the fluid is getting around, it just is tell they me. I am lucky because there are people that got it worse then I do. As life goes on I've become less self conscience when it comes to my horseshoe scar where my shunt is and the other scars I have on my stomach. Apparently women dig scars, who knew!

Reading stories from other members here is surprising that Hydrocephalus comes for people later in life. I thought that it was just something we were born with.

I'm glad to be here and found something like this to where there are others like me.
