Guest guest Posted May 13, 1999 Report Share Posted May 13, 1999 leanne: i have noticed that ever since i have been a zipperhead, and ever since symptoms have beeen bad, that my deodarant does not work as well. actually i use my husbands speed stick!! it is stronger than my soft-n-dry. it is wierd because i don't really sweat, but i get real hot. could also be the change since i am 41 years old. i think this chiari thing changes the way you sweat or something. i'm not even going to mention it to my nsg, he already thinks i'm a hypochondriac,!! ha karen in indiana ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that everyone needs to keep in mind that the pressure/compression that goes on with Chiari (especially if it has been many years) - can greatly affect the pituitary/thyroid glands. I think Dolores Strahan will back me up on this. (Hi Dolores!) (my daughter and the one with Chiari) has thyroid problems along with everything else. I'm not saying that a thyroid problem is the cause of the hot/sweaty/yucky feeling, but it is something to be aware of.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 1999 Report Share Posted May 14, 1999 Kathy, The breathing problem...does it feel like your breathing is so shallow and slow that if you don't concentrate on breathing, you may stop? This is what I get. It doesn't happen often, but it worries me sometimes.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 1999 Report Share Posted May 14, 1999 Hi, I have just this past year been getting " hot flashes " which I LIKE as I am always cold! I don't like the night sweats though. I went to my doctor and he tested for menopause and thyroid, both were normal. Very frustrating as some of the aspects are very miserable, but it seems to be another effect of this " fun " condition.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 1999 Report Share Posted May 14, 1999 Leanne, I have vertigo attacks (inner ear not chiari related) and yes, the heat come with it! I find that if I splash a little cold water on my face or use a cold compress, it can difuse the whole attack. Don't know if that will work for you, but try it! I often wonder how much of the naseau is related to the dizziness and how much is related to the heat.......it often goes away if I can get cooled down!
