Where shall I start. I spent all of last night and a good portion of the morning in the ER. I had my shunt adjusted on Monday from 30 up to 50 and last night I was at my breaking point. Pressure had built up so high, I wasn't very coherent and was very sleepy. Headache that words can't describe and threw up a few times before I decided it was time to go to the ER.

I am now back to my old setting of 30, the lowest the Codman shunt goes and feeling almost back to my old self. I guess this episode tells me that I am totally shunt dependent. I really didn't think going from 30 to 50 would affect me so fast.
