Hi, @stephenluptak - I've merged your post with this one so you can meet members like @techi and @jeancary who have talked about either white matter disease or normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). I'd also like you to meet @nancywootten @kajunangel67 and
@jc2buds. Hoping they will have some insights for you on your diagnoses.
I'd also like to mention these resources:
- Mayo Clinic information on hydrocephalus, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hydrocephalus/symptoms-causes/syc-20373604
- NIH information on normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), https://www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/All-Disorders/Normal-Pressure-Hydrocephalus-Information-Page
Did your doctor have a theory on the cause of the NPH in your case, @stephenluptak?

Thank you for leads. I will follow-up.
My KC neurologist diagnosed me with Alzheimer's, but the neurosurgeon in Kansas City said that it was NPH after my laminectomy. He didn't know why I had NPH, but speculated that it was associated with the various concessions I've had over the years. I have no confidence at all with the various neurologists that I've met in Memphis, Are there any that you would suggest? Thank you!
