I HAVE HYDROCEPHALUS

Hi my name is Kaprina and I have hydrocephalus. I’m 29yrs old, I have a vp shunt to help with the flow of the fluid. I’m still having headaches. I lost my balance in the bathroom and hit my head in the tub. My head has not stop hurting from that yet.

I have memory loss sometimes. You can tell me something and five minutes later. I don’t even know what you said. I still get dizzy, now I have problems with my spelling, and reading.

I think people with this condition should be able to keep there tenncare. Unlike me my insurance got cut off. Because they don’t think our condition is serious enough. Now I can’t go and see my doctors now. And I hurting really bad. It sucks for me.
