Fortunately now it's not every day all day, nor is it a 7/10 (most days) when it does return. However, it's still annoyingly there. My forehead and frontal lobe still hurt, and it still hurts to lay on the back of my head.
I suggested to a friend the other day I do a DIY frontal labotomy, she thought that was a bad idea. I agreed, reluctantly, remembering the frontal lobe was responsible for all things that made us human: emotional expression, problem solving, and memory (among others.) It's also responsible for our personality and ability to communicate. I like my personality, so maybe I'll hold off on the DIY frontal lobotomy at least for a while.
I'm going to see an Otalaryngologist (an ENT) next week. Maybe he can tell me why, besides the headache I've just not been feeling like myself. In August I had big black bags under my eyes. Now the blackness of the bags is gone, but the bags remain. The sinuses in my cheeks hurt, and there's also sinuses in ones forehead (a-ha!) Last Tuesday I felt dizzy (off balance). I vary between sniffing so my nose won't drip, to having a gallon of goo run down my throat.
Although my Neurologist took a C-T scan of my shunt and said everything was OK, who knows, the ENT may send me back to my Neurosurgeon. Oh the joys of hydrocephalus being the lens through which all physicians see things through.
