I had a magnetic underlay on my bed but after being fitted with this valve had to remove it from my bed. So the magnetic treatments are now a big NO, NO for me. I'm going to have another scan next week and a follow up appointment with the NS, but I'm not expecting any great resolution. I've found having those expectations then not receiving any resolution can be so soul destroying that I no longer develop such expectations, this way I can't be let down. It also means that if there is a success I can enjoy it fully.
Best of luck and best wishes for the Botox being a HUGE success. Let us know

Hey Merlin~
So He got the botox today, said it wasn't too painful, no side effects so far. Neurologist said it would be 2 days to 2 weeks to see any results. So we keep our hopes up and fingers crossed that this is his cure! Deans shunt is adjusted by magnet too but neurologist said this would not effect it. I thought that kinda strange as well. well thanks merlin, I wish you all the luck at your up coming appt.
