Just thought I'd take this opportunity to welcome everyone who ventures here, and also to introduce myself.

I am a fairly active member on the MS forum, as that is my dx (and life). However, once upon a time, Schizophrenia was a very big part too, as my mom was dx schizophrenic.

My mom passed away in 2000 (from cancer), but I do have years of hands-on experience with this disease. I volunteered as a moderator here, because I think I can relate to you and your challenges.

I hope you find comfort, support and understanding here.

AND, A MOST CORDIAL WELCOME TO YOU, TOO!

Had the shunt adjusted yesterday, but my balance is still way off. Its been 5 weeks since the surgery, and I was hoping to be better by now.
Has anyone had this sort of issue with shunt placement?
