Bumpy ride

I have this really bad cold that I have been battling for the last couple of days and for the most part I have been able to keep everything at bay. No real major headaches and my face has been only semi numb and tingly so I felt like I was doing good. However yesterday morning my daughter and son hit a deer head on their way to seminary. After work I had to go get my father in laws big diesel truck and trailer so we could haul the car to the shop. It made me so sick from the bumpy ride and all the bouncing of the trailer. I had a killer HA and my face went really tingly and even the bottom of my feet was tingly and I have never had that happen before. It was awful. I was then up all night with a killer HA each time I coughed I thought I was going to die.  I also was having tons of flutters in my throat and it felt like a little tickle in one spot and I could not get it to go away. I was up forever last night. Bad night… Anyway just thought I would share my bumpy experience. Hope everyone is feeling well and has a wonderful weekend. I am feeling much better this afternoon. No more truck rides for me.

I think we all have been on a bumpy ride ever since we found the word Chairi in the journey of our lives.  I avoid those bumpy ride's also.  Hope the kid's weren't hurt.  It must of been pretty bad if you had to pick up the car.  Hope you have a better day.  I know and I am having a HA week instead of a HA day.  Best wishes.

Hi...sorry u r not feeling well and I hope u get better soon.

Bumpy rides are known to trigger chiari symptoms even in those with no symptoms at all prior...so this is not surprising.

  Staying away from bumpy rides is a good idea....

  Take care
