Default About Appointment With NS

I just wanted to give everyone an update on my appointment with the NS. *

I went there on Wednesday and I told him that I was having headaches with nausea and sometimes vomiting. He did a shunt series and said that nothing looked broken, big suprise there my shunt series always look normal even when there is a problem. But he thinks that I MIGHT be overdraining. *

Or he thinks it just might be migraines. And I told his nurse that Migraines is just a term for an NS who dosen't want to do anything. Because I have
those when "Aunt Flow" comes around and these headaches are not the same.*

He has scheduled ICP Monitoring for this coming Tuesday. And said that if the pressure is low he will revise the valve but is going to put the same type
of programmable valve that I have already. And I asked him why not try a different programmable valve with more settings on it and he said that they are all basically the same.*

Lets just say after this I am thinking of getting a second opinion would that be wrong. To let him do the ICP Monitoring and see what the test says and
then maybe get a second opinion?*
