IH Truck Guy Posted April 13, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 13, 2011 Met with the doc today and he says no surgery at this time.... Maybe in 5 or 10 years.. Now he has a baseline to go off of... CT scans every 3 months to see how much fluid builds up,, The excess brain fluid is there,but not causing the headaches,chest pains and blurred vision... He is leaning towards migraine headaches as the issue... More pills to take.... He must have seen the look on my face and referred me to another doc to see if he confirms this... So I'm trying to get in to see the other doc before the end of the week,before I go back to work.. Thanks for all the well wishes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
