heat intolerance

[ally188]

I am 47 years old, I had decompression surgery May 15th of this year.  I had had some sensitivity to heat prior to surgery,but now it is far, far worse.  Terrible migraine, fatigue, nausea for a couple of days.  Is this normal?  I am 3 months post surgery, when will normal begin or (I am afraid to ask) is this my new normal?

  Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.

I too had issues with the heat post op only tho and I no longer have it....keep in mind we r all different and it is also "normal" to have some symptoms return as u heal...3 months is the time frame when most tend to start feeling that and it is also when some may feel depressed as a result of some symptoms returning...

May I ask what u r doing on a daily basis at this point? Sometimes we tend to do too much and it can affect how we feel.....

But if how u feel is new, and affecting ur quality of life do call ur Dr...when do u go see him/her again?

I hope it is not normal as my hot flashes are one of my biggest gripes and I am scheduled for surgery September 20th :( I hope it passes for you!!
