I have a loved one age 37 who is showing symptoms of BPH such as balance issues, shuffling gait, vision issues, head aches, extreme fatigue, light sensitivity and very very mild short term memory issues. They were recently taken off work because of the balance and visual issues. They have an appointment coming up soon at UK with a neurologist to see what the issue maybe. My questions are if someone requires a shunt for BPH can they still live alone independently as they do now? Is there still cognitive decline after a shunt is installed or is it just slowed down? Any information your expertise could provide will be immensely appreciated. Thank you.
