I have had a shunt since 10 days old and had several revisions over the years. I am 38 and the latest shunt revision was Feb 2010 which they put in a VP magnetic shunt. I have had the setting altered a few times due to too much drainage. I still suffer from headaches and poor concentration levels. I am only able to do 30-45 mins concentrating on anything. I would like to hear from others who have a shunt to share stories. I am 38 years old.
