I am getting another MRI & seeing my brain surgeon this coming monday about options, inc. surgery. Any questions I should ask? Anybody else had this complication. I'm very nervous....  |
Please do be nervous!!! if you don't get that taken care of it will cause you to have a Gran Mal seizure, I had the exact same thing I kept going in for 2 weeks to have him drain it but eventually I ended up having a seizure and now I'm on Medication for seizures for the rest of my life, I bet you feel tired all of the time, youre groggy, probably hot & sweaty and irritable just for starters, anyway I ended up with a shunt which has helped but it has its own issues, I hope the best please let us know how it works out!
