Hello,
I am a full-time working Mom in North Carolina. I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virgina.

I joined because my daughter, age 15, has been diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebrii for about a year. They installed a shunt last December (2 weeks in the hospital for pain meds mostly). The surgery went well but the low pressure headache was unbearable. Her pressure was over 400 and normal is close to 180. She was doing great until 2 weeks ago. All that we can figure is that going back to school full time was too much for her. Would love to meet some others goign through this that can talk to me and her.
