Hi, I recently have been diagnosed with NPH. It has been a long road to figuring out what was wrong with me especially because I am younger than the most. I am 55 years old. I started to fall frequently about 10 years ago, I just thought I was clumsy. Doctors sent me to PT which helped for a while. I also began to have cognitive issues, yet again, I thought it was the natural process of aging. My mom had Parkinson's so I was worried that I might have that because walking became difficult. My daughter observed that I was shuffling and ending up on my toes pulling me forward. After much testing at Mayo, I was diagnosed with NPH. I was recommended for a shunt and had the surgery over month ago. I keep saying it is a miracle. I can walk without any issues. My cognitive is not 100% but it is better than what it was. I feel like I have my life back. After 10 years of my body deteriorating, It really was a miracle for me. I have an appointment with my surgeon in a month to make any adjustments i may need. I am writing down any thing that I notice beginning to come back. I am very happy that I had a shunt surgery and grateful for my doctors. I went to Mayo in Arizona.
