The bus aide described the same thing. Her slurring, the excessive drool.
I told the neurologist AGAIN and he is claiming GERD.

Umm...who is this guy?? He's a first rate moron! GERD does NOT cause slurred speech!!
Please find another neuro right away, and while you're at it, tell the nsg, too. If this is a new development, the shunt may be the culprit. Are you on any hydro forums? I'd ask them, too, including the one here:
