Motion sickness

[Samanthab259]

has anyone developed this after decompression surgery? Its something i didnt have before. Now i cant hardly move without getting dizzy & then the vomit comes. I also cant ride in a car. I take phengen for it but it knocks me smooth out. The doctor gave me another pill but it seems to make it worse. I dont have a ear infection. The doctor said it could have something to due with the surgery & everything trying to go back normal. I just cant stand being sick all the time!

NO WAY... someone you are talking to is crazy! :)  You have that stupid Pseudo and they have to start thinking that it can be causing the issues! It is putting pressure on everything the way the chiari did and it could be the problem, I think you need someone smarter! it is so frustrating!

I know this sounds crazy but my NS said that my daily vomiting will never go away because my brainsteam was touched whenever my 1st NS did my 1st surgery, Has anyone ever heard this? Im really tired of the daily vomit. I cant do this everyday forever! Also it didnt start until one week after my 2nd surgery.

  Well it could be for now at this point in recovery, but they usually do one at least at some point...

  May I ask where u went?....could be it is something this dr always does or doesn't do...but I would not accept that answer.....

Im really unsure. I asked if I needed any & he said no He thinks im good. I thought it was weird.

  So glad to hear that has cleared up...but y no MRI's post op?

  Most NS's do them ....it could be at 6 months  it all depends on the NS as to when he will do them.

Rest up and feel better...let the laundry to the others....take care

Sorry it took me so long to write back. The weird thing is i didnt even have a mri after surgery nor do I have one anytime soon. I found out that i am not having motion sickness i had the stomach virus. It was the worst one I have ever had! I thought I had developed a infection. Good thing is as of yesterday it has went away!

  Hi Samantha!!

First ur surgery was just Sept 21st....right?....u r too early in the recovery process to worry about laundry...u should not be doing things like that yet....let urself heal.

Be patient...it does take time.....when do u go for ur MRI?

I know chiari changes our lifes so much. I have a hate for laundry now i miss being able to complete it! I know the feeling on learning to to accept things. I feel like ive missed out so much on the last year. I find myself crying everyday asking why me. My family is pretty  much understanding they just think i should be able to do a little more than I can. Ive been really moody lately so everyone has lifted off of me some. Not sure if thats good or bad lol. I pray you tomorrow & wish you well. I hope u feel better 2.

Having Chairi is so difficult to handle.  I know exactely how you feel.   I had a bad day with  being dizzy and neausa.  The only thing I did was a little laundry and washed my car and now  I suffer for it.  It's the little thing's in life that I can't do any more and it is so hard for me to except.  I broke down emotionally today because it does get to you not feeling good all the time.  My family doesn't understand, but is alway's trying to help make it easier, but of course it doesn't help you feel  better.  I go to a pain clinic tomorrow and I pray that they can give me at least 1 day pain free.  Wish me luck.  Hope you feel better.
