Hydrocephalus

I have just been told this is what I have, I am waiting to have lumber puncture at Kings College, my headaches are getting very bad and when I bend over I nearly fall over. I also have very dry scalp and skin which I have never had before, I must admit to being very worried what is going to happen, so would be happy to get some feed back, I am 66 years old but feel about 80. Thanks in advance for any help,

Hi Joy - I am new to this site and understand you have hydrocephalus & in 2015 we're awaiting a lumbar puncture? I have also been diagnosed with hydrocephalus and recently had a vp shunt operation I am age 46. I am struggling to find people in the same or similar position or any forums where I can share my experiences.....
