hey all

I know I haven't been on the board in awhile, but I had a question.

last night, I felt very bad. the best way I can describe it is like, sometimes my ankles swell up and have liquid in them and they are very very very sore and tender? well last night, my head felt like that. literally.

I also had spasms (more then usual) and severe sensitivity to sound and light (the more sensetive, it seems the time the spasms came on), I also had increased confusion.

for those who have experienced hydrocephalus - does this sound familiar or what?

With me, I had severe headaches as if my head would explode. I could feel the pressure in my head and it was horrible. Then I became confused and pretty much was dying. This was when my hydro was at its worst between my 3rd and 4th surgeries. I did die on the operating table, but don't remember anything. If it feels like you are drifting off and having intense headaches, get to the ER quick. Better to be safe about these things.

I was drifting off. but I did manage to kick my friend's rear in a game of uno so ... lol

I guess it wasn't hydro.

still - a miserable feeling. I am feeling a little better today but still feel pressure (but not as much)
