I have had hydrocephalus for 41 years I have had the Codman for 6 and I am having echo headaches everything going on the outside echoes in my head when I get a pressure headache and to boot I have a burr hole that just to today started hurting and made me nauseas I called my neurosurgeon of 30 years and I am waiting for a CT scan script and a Shunt series script. Any help would be appreciated. Tina |

I too have a Codman programmable shunt. I've had hydro for 27 years now (ever since I was 2 months old). For most of my life I had a VP fixed pressure shunt and in July I had a revision due to the old shunt slowing down. Since my surgery I haven't been feeling the greatest. My headaches continue and dizziness is a daily occurrence. My neurosurgeon adjusted the setting on my shunt 3 times since July. The last time I called them to report my ongoing headaches he said my shunt was not the problem and referred me to a neurologist. My neurologist has done a series of tests to figure out the culprit of the headaches (migraines, etc.) May I ask what echo headaches are? Misti |

Hi I just joined this group today! I am 24 and have had the shunt since birth. I have never had any problems with it at all. Rarely get headaches or issues with it. Right now though, I woke up this morning with a headache and everytime i move my head it hurts, but if I keep it still, it doesnt hurt as bad. Could this be a malfunction? Should I see a neuro, I have never been to one since birth.
