Erm.

Another complication can occur when CSF drains more rapidly than it is produced by the choroid plexus, causing symptoms -listlessness, severe headaches, irritability, light sensitivity, auditory hyperesthesia (sound sensitivity), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, vertigo, migraines, seizures, a change in personality, weakness in the arms or legs, strabismus, and double vision - to appear when the patient is vertical. If the patient lies down, the symptoms usually vanish in a short amount of time.

Sounds like my life.

God, Panera you were supposed to give me fucking health insurance. Now I have to wait to apply for Masshealth again.



Oh, and this cracks me up. "Pediatric hydrocephalus may also be a heritable condition, and mainly affects males."

Since my mother told me that saying I don't want kids because of medical and genetic history was basically me making up excuses because my doctor told her that hydrocephalus isn't heritable, it's a fluke thing that just ... happened.
