Brain Malfunction Day

[dkdean]

Not sure what has triggered it, but my brain is off....arm is numb, random thoughts, and now my lips are going numb...It makes me laugh a bit to think that a few months ago I would've been freaked out, but right now I am just thinking "Here goes a Chiari episode"...5 months makes all the difference, doesn't it??

I know what u mean, when I still had a job, I enjoyed a glass of wine now and again...to calm me down, or to help me sleep....

But I also understand the brain not working and once we know what we have we can accept some of the symptoms a little easier.

I hope ur chiari flare doesn't last too long : )

"selma"

Yes....all sounds very similar....just has been happening moe frequently and I am not a fan.  Have thried moving my head around thinking I could 'fix; what's happening but that doesnt work.  


I dunno on the wine...makes it a little better for me!!!!!  But, I am a big fan of CM humor too;)

hi there,

its a scarey feeling, i had that yesterday 3 times in 30mins, my arm ended up to weak to pat the cat, had to keep dropping my arm, ill try to explain how the feeling is,
ok here goes,

a buzzing starts in the head, it felt like i just left my body and was looking at it with someone elses eyes in my body, light headed, like your drunk,
left arm started tingling, so i tried to grab things it make sure i could still move it, i waited for my face to go numb, (thats what normally happens) then it went , i was left feeling washed out, and like i had had a blow emotionally, this happened again 2 times after that, i felt weak and realy strange, later in the night, my lips went numb, and sometimes i couldnt walk straight,

this morning i woke up feeling quite good, but since taking kids to school, ive had a mild head thing, and now my lips a numb and burning, my arms are tired,

does that kind of sound like what your doing?  i was scared last night, because with me it acts like ive a has a stroke, and it takes months to recover, so i was glad it didnt go to face at same time,

stop drinking,,,,, it can make it worse, last time i had one class of wine, of couldnt move and freaked out,,,,

And I nearly burned dinner....and am happy that the kids are happy and the weather is nice and that they are playing nicelt together in the yard....and I figure I may have another glass of wine to dull the effects of Chiari weirdness.


And I had to retype this b/c apparently my fingers aren't listening to my bnrain.
