What drugs are available for brain fog and fatigue due to Chiari?
Hi, just wondering what is available for brainfog and or fatigue. Anything? I awaken with head pressure which includes pain on top of my head. It often is followed with strong fatigue and fog. It is very difficult to get anything done. I have been flaring the last couple weeks! Worried it's not going to slow down as it usually has :(

The BP drop is what POTS is....do get checked for it.
Sounds like your body is trying to tell you at this point in time you are doing too much!
I do not believe you would have normal CSF if you have constant pressure...something is wrong and I think it would show in the CSF......
Listen to your body and take it easy for a while...at least until you know what is going on.
Thanks...I am enjoying my new bundle...I spent the day with him today....he is growing so fast too !
Hi Selma, congrats on your new little bundle!!
No, I haven't been tested for pots. I don't get dizzy when I stand, however, my blood pressure does seem to drop suddenly and I experience extreme fatigue and fog!
I awaken with pressure on the top of my head. Symptoms of head pressure, neck pain, upper back pain, fatigue and fog, and some arm and legs aches usually follow. I felt chills the other day and just couldn't warm up! All symptoms fluctuate by the hour, it seems, but the fatigue and fog won't quit! I wonder about brainstem compression? Would we have normal csf if we constantly have head pressure?
I try to do the normal chores when I can, go out to shop. I did try getting back on the treadmill a few times last week, doing arm exercises as I walked. Before that, I carried the Christmas tree to the basement myself :s, in three parts of course. I think it was after that, that symptoms may have worsened.
I'll see my GP on Wednesday. More tests to come, I'm sure!
