Smile Newbie with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension & LP shunt.

Hi Everyone!
New to the forum and was wondering if there was anyone here with IIH, otherwise known as BIH (benign intracranial hypertension) or PTC (pseudo tumour cerebri)??? I know no one at all with this disease, apart from a few ppl I've met online.

I have an LP shunt and would love to chat with ppl with similar. Mine is giving me grief.... works beautifully in controlling the pressure and headaches, but has given me a lot of back pain - sciatica - and keeps popping out of my abdomen and draining subcutaneously. Anyone else have these issues?

cheers,

Lala
