I have had over the past five months, Double Pneumonia twice, Pulmonary Embolus twice with second blood clot happening on Tuesday, Acute Renal failure, Shingles, Obstructive Hydrocephalus with enlargement of the ventricles, Recurring blood clot in lung, tachycardia with a heart rate of 115.  I have short and long term disability but my long term must be approved disability by Social security to qualify. I have pretty severe short term memory loss and gait disturbances. I have also had tingling in toes on left side, I have had an MRI which showed the hydrocephalus, and they are planning to do a Cisternogram next week. Not real sure what to do, my job is on the line due to passing out and also trouble perfroming routine task.

    Wow ... thats many problems to deal with .. i will guess that your above 60. 

    Hydrocepahlus is critical ... therefore let the doctors do their investigation and will treat you.
