hi i had an lp shunt fitted in 2005, iv had nothing but trouble ever sinse. i get the most severe headaches when i cough, laugh, sneeze ect ect. the only way i can relieve the pain is to lay flat on my back sometimes for a few hours or the whole day. i have a 1yr old son and cannot enjoy him like i want to. i want it removed but have been refused and told to take painkillers they dont work. i dont know what each day is going to bring but i do know MY HEADACHES. if you are conciddering having an lp shunt fitted think long and hard and get as much information as possible. thank you
