Hydrocephalus cannot be cured, but inserting a shunt system to drain away the excess CSF can control it. The shunt consists of a short catheter inserted into the lateral ventricles in the brain and connected to a oneway valve. #SpinaBifida #Hydrocephalus #IIH #IH #ShineUKCharity #Charity #NonProfit #UK #UnitedKingdom #Cymru #Wales #England #NorthernIreland #ThirdSector #Community #Support #NormalPressureHydrocephalus #NPH

Triathlons combine three sports - swimming, cycling and running - which are done in succession of one another over various distances.

Many people find it difficult or painful to absorb medical information at the emotionally traumatic time of their, or their child‘s, diagnosis of hydrocephalus and looking to the future can seem frightening when a shunt is inserted. For these reasons, many patients choose to discuss their situation with their more familiar general practitioner once they or their child are discharged from hospital. #SpinaBifida #Hydrocephalus #IIH #IH #ShineUKCharity #Charity #NonProfit #UK #UnitedKingdom #Cymru #Wales #England #NorthernIreland #ThirdSector #Community #Support #NormalPressureHydrocephalus #NPH

Problems with kidneys, skin and tissues, and bones and joints are often experienced by people with spina bifida, and the earlier they are picked up and treated, the better the long-term outlook. #SpinaBifida #Hydrocephalus #IIH #IH #ShineUKCharity #Charity #NonProfit #UK #UnitedKingdom #Cymru #Wales #England #NorthernIreland #ThirdSector #Community #Support #NormalPressureHydrocephalus #NPH

If you don’t fancy venturing outside, then you can always organise an event at your local pool and get your friends and family involved. You could all decide to swim the same distance, maybe having a race against each other, or you could set a team goal and each do your part. #SpinaBifida #Hydrocephalus #IIH #IH #ShineUKCharity #Charity #NonProfit #UK #UnitedKingdom #Cymru #Wales #England #NorthernIreland #ThirdSector #Community #Support #NormalPressureHydrocephalus #NPH

When choosing toys and games for children with hydrocephalus or spina bifida, it is important to consider not only what will provide enjoyment, but whether the toy will also help all round development. #SpinaBifida #Hydrocephalus #IIH #IH #ShineUKCharity #Charity #NonProfit #UK #UnitedKingdom #Cymru #Wales #England #NorthernIreland #ThirdSector #Community #Support #NormalPressureHydrocephalus #NPH

#CyclingForShine - If you don’t have the time to go on a long sponsored cycle then why not go the distance in the local gym on an exercise bike? Simply work out the distance you want to cycle, perhaps the distance of the Tour de France (3295km in 2011), and then cycle it in stages each time you go to the gym. #SpinaBifida #Hydrocephalus #IIH #IH #ShineUKCharity #Charity #NonProfit #UK #UnitedKingdom #Cymru #Wales #England #NorthernIreland #ThirdSector #Community #Support #NormalPressureHydrocephalus #NPH
