I was diagnosed with Pseudo Tumor Cerebra Jan. 2014. They shunt was placed a few days after that.. I have gotten back some eye sight from the pressure being on my optic nerve so long but it is not how it use to be. It has been almost 2 years sense the placement and I am now noticing a increase in headaches over the last week. My neurologist told me I might wold have headaches for the rest of my life and I would have them once in a while after my shunt but here lately they have been so often I have took notice to the problem. Has anyone experienced this? If so what should I do or what helped you? Thanks so much

Hi there I am 43 years old now. I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus first when I was 11 then when I was 17. When I was 11 specialists put me on fluid reducing steroids for 6 months and told me to have a nice life. The headaches started getting really bad when I was 15 but when I would ask my family physician he would tell me to relax and not stress. The headaches were so bad I would often have nausea and vomiting to relieve some of the pressure. I finally managed to get my doctor to refer me to a specialist and then it was a race to get my first shunt inserted before I would suffer irreversible brain damage from over swollen ventricles. The doctor promised me that having a shunt would cure my intolerable headaches but he was wrong.
