Suggest Remedy For A Mild Case Of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

I believe I have a mild case of Norm Pressure Hydrocephalus. MRI's show enlarged ventricles. The size has stayed the same for several years but I notice I'm having memory and concentration problems. Also my balance is very bad where I've almost fallen. I've had memory issues for some time but all of it's getting worse. So far no pressure exams have been done. I think my doctor is of the option that unless I can't walk or the condition gets really bad nothing should be done.



I'm 52 and do computer work. The memory and concentration problems are impacting my ability to work. In fact I was just told I'll be moved to another group. I'm thinking this is because of my issues. At this point I haven't told my employer since it's not been proven that I really have NPH.



Can a mild for be diagnosed?
