Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Trying again. Sent email earlier, but it hasn't shown up. 1st off, my one shunt has always had a concave/dimple area in my head. Nsg's PA did remark that it's easy to check this one for problems. This morning I was more off balance than usual -- walking into the walls more. Felt the shunt area and the concave/dimple whole in my head is smaller. I am having periodical tenderness in that area -- without touching it. It is also like I can feel that the shunt is there -- without touching -- I can always feel that shunt by touching. That side of my head does give me pain all the type -- take Naproxen daily. But, today's pain is different. Right now, I feel irritation and stinging there. Having periodical sharper pains. Have noticed that my eyes haven't been focusing as well lately; but, thought it was just asllergies/sinuses. Put in a call to my GP, he's not in today; but, nurse will give info to another doctor. Not really sure if I want to go back to Dr. Jannetta. My cousin -- who works where I get my MRI's done, is gonna ask another MRI place who they recommend. Is this something to worry about? Would I need something done about it right away? Could meds. help out at all? On top of this, I had to pick up cat this morning. She got spayed and declawed yesterday. Poor baby. Did you know that cats go into heat every other week? Horribly noisy and horny animals. Thanks for any advice. Peace and grace -- Tina in Pgh.
