It's been raining the last four days where I live and my programmable shunt valve is causing pain and throbbing from the scar tissue....Makes me wonder why I feel what I do on specific days depending on the weather. Could be healing issues associated with what happened in March 2014.
From online hydrocephalus support groups I've seen people discussing how barometric pressure affects shunt valves: Barometric pressure and shunts
There is a correlation between the two, I just wonder why...It's too bad I can't check the settings myself or just get the same kit they use to make adjustments at the neurosurgeon's office.
