squad, i think its my shunt again

[mollykins]

Will the end of my vp shunts' tube be in my stomach? I had those headaches the other week, and a couple of days ago, i got bad, sharp cramp all over my stomach, for about a minute. Could they be connected? should i be worried? should igo to the doctor? also considering i've had 2 more of those headaches since the other week?

malyy, your shunt could be kinked anywhere between your head and your stomach and I would certainly seek medical advice perhaps after the weekend.

We've phoned up Adenbrookes, as we don't think a gp would know much - a appointments being arranged.

[mollykins]

I'm going to adenbrookes on monday. But they couldn' fit us in this week, so they said go to your gp, who was angry as she doesn't have much of an idea but said that theres a small chance that i have a virus as i felt lightheaded for a couple days and sick and shivering when noone else was that cold, which could be making the shunt seem worse, but she's not sure. Then she said she'll write to adenbrookes to say that it seems pretty urgent to her and that shes angry i was sent to her (we thought this meant we wouldn't get a reply for at least a week) but she faxed them and we got a phone call saying we can have an appointment on monday.

Molly....that is good news re. your appointment.

Keep me informed.

[mollykins]

Plus, i don't feel lightheaded anymore, but i feel different, but i don't know a word to describe it. And that's getting really anoying now.

Imagine not knowing a word for happy or any variation or synonym of happy, then someone made you feel happy, you wouldn't be able to describe it would you?

plus my blood pressure is low and she thinks i'm possibly dehydrated.

i know its dependant on height age and gender so i'm 155 cm (5ft 2in if you work in imperial) female 16 year old.

um it was 117 over ummmm im sure it was 69 which is very low but it could be 79 which is still quite low. I tried remembering it as one long number and im sure i said to myself double 1 769.

[Sqad]

Molly.....don't worry about your BP in my opinion it is within normal limits.

All the best for your Monday hospital appointment.
