My 14 yr old son just recovered from this Jane. It took from March 12 until now. Thru heavy doses of Decadron, Diamox, and several other drugs, his pseudo tumor is gone. He\'s now recooperating from the side affects of the Decadron - 40 lb weight gain and boils all over his face. The spinal taps relieved the pressure for 1 1/2 hrs the Neurologist tells me - he says it builds back up immediately. If the Decadron (which is a steriod) didn\'t get the pressure down they would of had to put shunts in his brain for drainage. Please email if I can provide further info. We\'ve been thrut he mill on this one!
