My first diagnosis was in 1990 and the VP shunt worked well for 20 years.I suddenly collapsed and needed a new shunt.Since the operation I have experienced gait/balance issues and a fear of falling.I hope that this is only temporary as the neurosurgeon has suggested it is pschological.
I have many of the symptoms elders get

I do get confused. I have had a brain M.R.I. and was told I have what they called it, (water on the brain). Frightening outcome for me. As I read through this article I realize now why I stagger at times and my vision can't be corrected. I have had three prescriptions within one years time. I changed doctors and she told me my eyes are perfectly healthy and sent me for the scan. At times I am not hungry and would rather take a nap. Only yesterday I really wanted to eat. I have many of the symptoms and now it makes me nervous. I will see a Neurosurgeon a.s.a.p.
