Hydrocephalus: Saying “I’m fine…”

Hydrocephalus: Saying “I’m fine…”

Published on July 30, 20204 Comments on Hydrocephalus: Saying “I’m fine…”

When someone asks me how I am in general, but especially, after a Hydro “episode”, I often respond with these 2 little words. It’s instinctive. The truth of the matter is, I don’t know that for sure. How do I truly know that I am fine..!? Fact is, I...

I’ve had a few people say this to me. People at the end of their rope, dealing with pain and discomfort from living with Hydrocephalus, and some, living with more conditions/diseases on top of it all. I fully empathise and, in most cases, share their sentiment. More especially, today...

I sometimes think this is such an unfair condition to have. One could argue and ask, compared to what? This would be a “relatively” fair enough question. But, I do feel, (as someone diagnosed with it, someone who knows the full extent of the pain and consequences of the...

Last week I binge watched Lenox Hill, a documentary, currently playing on Netflix. Not everyone has the stomach for watching brain surgery or women giving birth. So, if you’re squeamish, don’t watch it. Me on the other hand, I find it interesting…brain surgery, that is. For some reason, I...

Hydrocephalus: Anxiety and Memory Issues

Published on July 2, 20206 Comments on Hydrocephalus: Anxiety and Memory Issues

I know this is probably an old topic but, for me, it never grows old simply because it affects me on a daily basis. I possibly haven’t labelled it as such before, but I do feel anxious when someone challenges me on the validity of my memory issues. There’s...

I have Hydrocephalus and I’ve had brain surgery to treat it. 5 thus far, in fact. I’ve had a VP Shunt, which has been removed and for the last 10 and a half years, an ETV. But…, this doesn’t mean anything in the grand scheme of the condition. Too many people across the world...

If anyone had ever said to me that I’d be using cannabis in any form, in my future, I think I would have asked them what they’re smoking. I’ve always been one to toe the line and always try to do the right thing…I still do, mostly. But what...

I seem to learn more about myself and this condition every time… A week ago, I was in unimaginable pain and for the first time, I made the decision NOT to seek medical help. Thankfully my headache has gone since then, that in itself is a huge relief. I’m...

Waking up with a headache a few days ago is nothing new. One that doesn’t go away, also nothing new. In fact, nothing about that day was different to any other time. I took some Codeine early in the day because I sensed this one would not let up....

13 years ago, today, my world changed. A “simple” visit to a Neurologist to find out what was causing my daily headaches, and subsequent CT scan, dropped a new word into my vocabulary. She was the first one to believe that there wasn’t anything sinister going on, that I...
