Q: I have IIH and had a vp shunt surgery a year ago. Since the surgery I suffer from severe headaches. I am looking for answers and people who have knowledge on this condition.
Hi Mommy3,
I'm sorry you are having trouble now. Is the doctor who did the shunt any help? Depending where you are in the country you may have to seek out a specialist who deals with IIH. Have you seen a neuro ophthamologist? Or Migraine specialist?
We have some information on IIH I can share with you:
Headache Attributed to Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension - The Basics and
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) - The Basics.
And since you're going through a rough time now, if you'd like some additional support, come join our discussion forum. You'll need to register again once there because it's a separate membership database, but you can use the same member name, email address, and password that you used here. You can find our forum at http://forums.healthcentral.com/discussion/migraine/forums.
Good luck
Nancy
