Re:Can I have chairi, but without a headache?

[Guest guest]

Absolutely...you can have chiari without headaches.

Interestingly, not everyone who has high intracranial pressure has a headache

as a result (probably why so many people with NPH are misdiagnosed with

Alzheimers...you've probably seen the commercials)

I think I posted this once before..but I'll repeat it here because it's an

interesting point. There was a study done in which patients ICP was purposely

raised (fluid injected into the spinal canal). The result was surprising - some

patients reported agonizing pain but others reported no pain at all. Of course,

this was not an ethical study...and I believe it was done on unwilling

participants. I can't remember any other details (sorry).
