Thank you Heidi. I am leaning towards a shunt and I was wondering what was the (straw that broke the camel's back) for you when it came to finally deciding to get a shunt. Was it after trying meds and multiple LPs that were consistently high without feeling better? If so, how well do you feel now with a shunt and is it worth it? I know this is a personal question but I am trying to get as much info as possible from people that have been through it to make an informed decision; thanks.
