Betty21,Hi. Ihope you're doing better.* I've had my VP shunt over 2 years now. Sadly my pain is pretty bad every day.* Having said that, your glasses coudl be part of the problem.* Make the adjustment on the glasses and also contact your doctor to verify your shunt position and function is ok.* Don't take a chance.* Make sure things are operating properly.* You are 2 months in and you are still adjusting.* I still see my doctor 2 to 3 times a month.* I am able to do this , because of VA coverage which helps a little.* My personal situaion is very bad, my family and I are homeless and currently living with my sister and the list goes on.
You just hang in there and trust in God for he is faithful.TEC49
