Hi,

I am also from England and don't know many pof the mdicines mentioned on here. I tend to take codine + parcetemol fort my headaches, but unfortunately this does not a;lways help.

I was mainly wondering if it's normal for people with shunts to suffer with frequent headaches? I've had a shunt since a baby and am niow 30, but simce my full-time work [I] have bad headaches at least fortnightly causing me to miss work. I was wondering if others with shunts find it affects their absence from school/work? I just feel i've been off work loads.
