Hi all...just wonder if anyone can help me get my head round this? I had severe but short lived headaches for a year and after many tests, I have a Chiari Malformation. (The opening from my skull is slightly bigger than normal so my brain 'falls' into my spinal column and presses on the brain stem and blocks the flow of spinal fluid.) I actually diagnosed myself because the Drs were stumped!!! The headaches have changed my life as I find bending difficult and even getting up from bed can be a chore! Accupuncture has helped enormously, but at £15 a week (luckily found a neighbour who does friends rate!) I am struggling. Is this for life? I cant even garden anymore!! DH is great and will always bend for me! 'can you get that pan on the bottom shelf' etc. But I am so p**d off at yet another weird thing that I have got. (I have Lichen sclerosis, I had PUPP during 1st pregnancy, Hemiplegic migraine in 2nd labour.) Has anyone had this and 'cured' it? How? Please help as I am so sad and see no end to this.
