Any information that you can provide would be much appreciated.  |
That's basically right, especially because you already have significant symptoms, and especially since the fluid flow is being interfered with. Persistent CSF obstruction causes compression of the brainstem and spinal cord and can result in inability to breathe, severe apnea, coma, and ultimately, death. This
cannot be treated lightly!! Your employer needs to get that. It's not a breast augmentation or tummy tuck, for God's sake!
(I'm so pi$$ed at that idiot employer of yours, all I can see is red!
) Since you already have fluid obstruction, your brainstem is being compressed, inhibiting its ability to do its job, which is controlling heartbeat and breathing, among others.
Good luck, hon'. I'm here for you. There are lots of sites, too. Let me know what you have, and I'll give you what I have.
