Blowing nose.. and another question that's TMI

[SG2]

Anyone else feel like they're going to pass out when they blow their nose and/or have a BM?  (sorry)

Also sorry for blowing up the board lately.  

My life has taken a very weird turn since I hit my head a cpl months ago.  It's taking everything I have to not jump off a cliff and call it done. (joking - kind of).

Buy Mirilax and stir 1.7 g in your oj every morning and no more restroom problems.  I was constipated even with mag citrate, suppository, and softeners NS told me to take.  My PCP prescribed me Mirilax (also sold over the counter) and after 3days never strain again.  If I miss a day I get backed up again I swear that stuff is a chiari life saver.

  LMAO....only u...hahaha

Swings there was no in between. Slow fast didn't matter most times I was out very quickly with severe vertigo afterwards. Nausea most times so I just learned to not play on the swings.

yeap always been squirtin or brickin... Hummm.... maybe this thread should be renamed the "TMI Forum".

not CW someone else stole my ID and wrote all this TMI related stuff

[selmaS]

  What about swings CW...I could not stand them either got sick to my stomach every time...had no idea y...as a kid u want to be able to do these things and then bam...u feel awful and everyone else  seems to ignore how they feel,...or so it seemed....Balloons, Merry-go-rounds, swings....ugh

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down....lol....

well yeah I understand that too....but, I also had IBS or so I thought and it was little pebbles that blew my head apart or molten lava (sorry).....

  

[ChiariWolf]

Well forgive the English but I call those BM dropping a rock. Feels like coming out and flushes about as well as a webble. U know Webble's wobble but they don't flush!

Cw

[ChiariWolf]

Whoa! Now there is one I never connected. Never could do ballons without severe ha and or passing trying. Doc said weak heart?

Same thing with merry go round. Slow It would just be dizzy, but if it went even slightly fast I would pass out with nasty ha upon coming around. If I remember correctly I'd get bad vertigo on there as well.

  Well what is even more weird is I only would get rid of waste once every 2 weeks or so....many times it would be an awful experience...the pain, the sweating, and the chills, I thought I was sick, and of course (TMI) it was not solid...so as a child I equated  a BM with being sick did not understand neone going more then a few times a month....

It is not until recently that I am finally going like a normal person....yeah!!

I had no idea for my whole life  just how wrong it was to feel like that....that sharp pain in my head,....

I still have issues passing my water...constant start and stop, but a neurogenic bladder will do that.....and I too get odd  sensations in my head as I have to concentrate and push to relieve that water....so CW I know kind a what u r talking about.....

I know mine is the TC causing it still... not sure it can be corrected.....

LOL !! Reading this I found myself saying oooh, yes...thats me !! My DH never did understand why when I get something out of the bottom cabinets, I sit down on the floor first. He always thought I did it so I could see better, until we had people here for a birthday party, and I sat down in the kitchen on the floor to retrieve one of the crockpots. He was like, Baby...people are here...I said, I know and I figured they would appreciate me not passing out or blacking out...lol. No, I know it is not funny, but I sometimes have to laugh at how goofy I must look at times when I do odd things to avoid symptoms ! And to answer your question SG2~ yes, I have had the same thing happen, and like all said this is the place that you don't have to say sorry for asking. We are all full of questions...especially after something odd happens. Nothng sounds crazy to me anymore. I have learned that so many thing I attributed to normal....are just weird and NOT everyone has them~
I never could blow up balloons either or I would get the terrible HA, dizzines, fuzzy vision going black. For my kids bday parties, I always have tons of balloons everywhere. It is the only thing I am not willing to do myself and will spend the money to have someone do them ~~

[ChiariWolf]

Hmmm...... Yes, though I don't lust for it. :-) Just kidding.

No, seriously this is one of the reasons I went back to the Dr. Even urinating is making me get very near that point. Along with that lately either waste removal method leaves me choking and gasping for air.

Thanks for posting, I thought that one was just me being weird!

[thrice3]

i always got really light headed blowing up balloons too and was always so confused at how others could do it lol
i NEVER blow my nose and hardly ever cough due to being sick. i once was thought i had a cold and was surprised to find it was bronchitis while i was at the doctor. just never realized how much i avoid coughing lol the doc got frustrated and told me i had to start coughing if i wanted to get over the bronchitis. this was before the chiari dx

i've come to the conclusion that chiarians are very unique people lol

[SG2]

You guys rock, thank you.  Yeah, squatting down gets me every time too, getting up from any position from the floor alone will send me near fainting.  It's crazy.

LOL @ mental image of blowing nose while having bm.  Where did Sue disappear to?  

[Shelltn]

Oh yea, definitely don't attempt both of those at the same time...really dangerous combination lol...

& I get woozy if I sqwat down or bend over  to look in the fridge or bottom cabinets....yet another simple everyday task that we get to consider a risk ti do that anyone non chiari  would be like, but that's silly, how can that ne dangerous to do?

[selmaS]

  Most deff these r chiari issues and it only adds to the pressure that is already there....

  As a kid, I never understood y I couldn't blow up balloons...always got dizzy and a HA...I just thought everyone did....so I would push thru to do it, but, lost interest pretty quickly....as with most things that left me feeling that way....

No need to apologize, but u can continue to add to one thread if u want....we will see u added something : )

Either way this  is the place for u to ask and not feel the need to say ur r sorry and know we all understand.

[Shelltn]

Oops... List not lusty?? geeeeez....crazy phone makes me sound even  more whacky than usual & I sure don't need any help in that department lmbo

[Shelltn]

Don't feel embarrassed (sp?lol) about that, avoiding straining is on the lusty of do's & dont's, along with all kinds of other things that is hard to not do in everyday tasks of life. Stool softeners are suggested to help avoid, but the whole healthy eating habits/high fiber & more fruits & veggies diets are also recommended.

Blowing your nose, well, maybe try some saline nose spray to help maybe not get so stuffy in the first place so you won't have to make sure you're in a safe siting position when you blow your nose in case you do get woozy..that would be a definite "yea right" moment trying to explain how u got a black eye or other injury if ur reply was" ummm I passed out  while blowing my nose"....we would believe you, even if it happened while u were doing ur business, but some people would definitely say, are you in sn' abusive relationship or who's beating u up? Ok, I'll hush on that for now :-)

We get to endure all types of weird, hard to explain, even sometimes unexplainable  physical malfunctionations that most would consider extremely bizarre & would consider us candidates for mental evaluations when we try to explain what we go through on a daily basis...even my private symphony of constant changing  pitch frequencies I hear non stop is a weird thing to explain to others...oh well, at least we're all weirdos together

We understand
