I'm 27 and have had Hydrocephalus since I was 8 weeks old. I had some delays in motor skills but then picked up when I started to school. Since about junior high though (when I started facing things that required a level of complex thinking) I've had some issues. Things that are common sense to others isn't so much to me. I have issues with concentrating and staying focused. I had my shunt replaced this year with from a fixed pressure valve to a programmable valve. It's caused lots of headaches and dizziness. Still not feeling 100% but someone able to function in my daily routine. I have my days. I'm working full time but it's so hard some days. If I get off track of what I'm doing it takes awhile to get back on track. It takes me awhile longer to do things than most people. Also, have problems with anxiety (get stressed in crowded stores, worrying about what people think when I'm trying to complete a task, etc) It's so crazy b/c as a child I never had all these issues. Just in the last few years.
