After exhibiting symptoms of Parkinson’s (drooling, falling, etc.) that my mom and bro had, I began my neurological journey! After numerous dr. visits, scans, tests, I have finally been diagnosed with extra fluid on my brain with the possibility of a shunt relieving my symptoms! Hallelujah! Still waiting on powers that be to agree on this diagnosis and set up the procedure! What a blessing to finally have some hope! Hoping it can happen! Anyone else have this experience???

Hello @psvantx

I can hear the relief in your words. It is good to have a plan to relieve your symptoms! While this hasn't happened to me personally, I have known of people who were originally diagnosed with Parkinson's and later diagnosed with the fluid on the brain. If a shunt is implanted you should feel much better.

How long have you had these symptoms? What type of test finally diagnosed the fluid on the brain?
