I sprung a leak


Seriously. Can dealing with Chiari get any weirder? Oh yes, yes it can!

Yesterday I woke up with a terrible pressure headache. I'd slept part of the night on a recliner and managed to smash the back of my head in. I could feel the back of my head didn't seem quite right, plus I had the feeling of a vise around my entire head and my eyeballs felt ready to pop out of my head!! I get these pressure headaches now and then, and they are really hard to get rid of. Sometimes I'll take a migraine pill (even though they aren't really migraines) and that will help. Also my upper vertebrae were very unstable. My neck LOOKED crooked. It felt like it needed to adjust so I'd stretch one way and it would pop loudly. Then later I'd stretch the other way and more loud clunks. Well when I woke up and had this terrible feeling I noticed my ear seemed wet inside. I stuck a tissue in my ear and a few drops of liquid were seen. I realized I SPRUNG A LEAK!

I wonder if something about the plane trips to and from Baltimore jammed something up inside my brain and is causing more pressure issues? I felt very similar in Baltimore, like my eyes were ready to pop out. I'm going to see the cranio-sacral lady tomorrow. I hope she can get things lined up again. Nuts, I tell ya.
