Can Chiari make you have unexplained fever?

I was doing ligh housework when I suddenly felt flushed! My cheek are a bright red and I feel feverish with a slight headache and pain in my legs! Can it be caused by Chiari.

So sorry u are having a bad day.  I have those a lot. I feel for u.  

I get random low grade temps a lot.  I was told it is from excess pressure (from too much CSF) pressing on the hypothalamus which is what regulates body temp.   As long as it doesn't go above 101F u should be okay if any higher it most likely is an infection of some sort (maybe not with the chiari but a cold or something else)


I am not giving u medical advice persay just passing on what was shared with me.  I sure hope u feel better. I know how hard it is to be there for ur kids when DH is working.   Dinner dishes homework and baths become 20x harder

My oldest helps out so much with my youngest on those days but I like giving looong baths to them. And I turn the lights off and light candles.   This is relaxing for all of us and some soft music and than pray for no tears and early bed times.

No I didn't check my BP, I dont have a machine home. I guess it could be that to!

  Hi...yes, it can.....it all depends on where u r with ur chiari...if u r post op, it could be a infection due to a CSF leak.

And my Drs used to always tell me to let them know if I had a fever with my HA's but that was b4 my chiari dx...so I am  not sure what they were concerned for then.

  Did u check ur BP?....
