Well, I'm not normally a complainer but....

I'm developing allergies to the cold. It effects/affects me in very negative ways anymore. The neck cramps are really getting bad so IT must be an allergy to the cooler temps.

I've also determined that I'm extremely allergic to Chiari and it must be annihilated. We must develop a mutant virus what will cause the empathy defunct percentage of the 'medical community' to have our chiari symptoms transferred into their heads for one year. Then the virus will mutate and self destruct once these people learn empathy from the things they have suffered. Yeah... now where are them there test tubes must get to work on this virus immediately!

Hi Selma. It ***** when that happens. Horrible to be that miserable! I hope you get some relief SOON!
I had taken medrol dose packs and vicodin for years when all of a sudden I was ending up in the ER with reactions.
Can't tolerate any of the steroids anymore or anything related to opiates.
With one shot of solu medrol, I itched like crazy from my scalp to the bottoms of my feet for 24 straight awful hours on IV and PO Bennie. Then 2 weeks later I was given my regular pre med of Decadron before a typical 5 hour IVIG infusion and my face blew up with my throat closing and an ambulance was called and I had to be admitted. Scary!
Prednisone broke me out with a red dot rash after that. I looked so funny. But the breathing thing was the scariest.

No, I won't let any doc ever give me any of these drugs again...but I had taken them for years w/o problem. My Immunologist told us he thought it was an immune response to what was happening with me at the time, but who knows?

I wish you an itch free day!
Hugs,
Donna

Hi Selma,
I have developed a rash on the palms of my hands over the past few months that my NL feels could be due to the Syrinx or some other CM related complication, it is not painful but as I have very little feeling here anyway this dose not surprise me lol. I am due to see the NS tomorrow week so I will say it to him.

this is a first….you complaining…..shocked lol

I hope you feel better soon my friend, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
