First, I love your screen name. It makes me think of my dear mother making breakfast on cold mornings. I could comment on your question about exercise. Always be careful of not doing anything too strenuous. Walking is the best exercise. I hope you do feel some relief. Sometimes when I walk, at least some of those pesky emotional issues I may be experiencing at the time can fade a bit in their intensity.
Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.
Do you also have a DX of Chiari?
Or maybe Ehelrs-Danlos, or Syringomelia,,,, they are related to Chiari ......just wondering what else you might have going on,....
What caused your nerve damage?
