I know all to well the "it's all in your head" comments. LOL
Yeah it is LITERALLY all in our heads people, now pull yours out of the other end and pay attention to what we are telling you! lol
Kris glad you were having a good enough day to put your therapist back in her place :) whoot-whoot!
You know you have chiari when...
even your Therapist (whom you've seen regularly for years) starts causing you to ?? if it really IS all in your head!!
... come on folks, really?! Good thing it was a day when I had the strength to put the therapist back in her place!
unbelievable
I agree it's VERY irritating when someone complains of a HA! -- or 'my foot hurts' or 'my back hurts' etc... buck up little camper & "LEARN to live with it"!!!
when you want to go ape on someone who complains about a HA... Really people? you have no freaking clue!
When people say: "You look ok, what's wrong with you?"
When you just cry for no apparent reason to others, but it's because you are so miserably trapped in your own body and nothing makes it better.
When all you want is some form of normalcy on a daily basis, and the simple task of cleaning your own house brings on terrible pain but you do things anyway because you don't want to be considered weak in the eyes of others.
Oh and 1 of my favorites: When you have to have a BM and your afraid to push too hard cause it creates horrible head pain and then BOOM you've got another migraine!
We could all go on for hours, lol
It's also funny how we, all of us, usually have a better sense of humor or somewhat morbid sense sometimes, lol, than the healthy ones!
Love all the posts today, let's do this again sometime :)
oh! thought of another one!
you know you have chiari when
-you want to slap the next person who says, "its not like it can kill you. it could be worse." uh that gets so overwhelmingly annoying
you know you have chiari when
-someone says they have a headache and you think "i wish i had JUST a headache"
-when you have to recount 5 different times doing a math problem because you keep forgetting where you left off
-when you cant seem to remember a certain word and are trying so hard to remember it that you forget what you were talking about in the first place
