Hello, I have had a programable vp shunt for almost 3 years. I had severe hydrocephalus that went un-diagnosed for a very long time. It was caused by a low grade brain stem astrocytomoa. I was diagnosed with the tumor 22 years ago. I take keppra xr and vimpat for simple partial seizures. I feel very tired during the day and I tend to be moody and I lose my temper easily. I know those can be side effects of my meds. I have very bad headaches (daily) and pressure behind my eyes. I have trouble bending down and changing positions when I'm laying down. I have had my shunt setting changed many times. I also have neck pain and now I've been having soreness around my scalp where my shunt is. I'm 31 and I'm and active mom and wife. I have 2 young kids. I'm glad I found this group. I'm wondering if there are any other vp shunt people out there?!
