Hi, I have a shunt in my head to drain the excess fluid and I'm having problems with it where it feels like it's not draining as it should do and leaving me with very bad migraines every day and it takes ages for it to release again....any suggestions on what this is or what I can do?

Hi @Katie_3 this really sounds like something you should speak to your doctor about, do you have a specialist? If not I think a trip to the GP is in order.

Yes, I have a specialist, I'll go and talk to my GP too.
