Hi group,

Well, I am over two months post op now. Lately I have been having a hard time

with dealing with sress. I just feel like I can't handle things without freaking

out. My headaches are bad too. I have been having panic attacks. I know that

part of it or maybe all of it is that I just got my period. Does anyone else get

their symptoms worse with PMS?

I had a really bad arguement with my mom last night and as she was yelling at me

I went into a severe panic attack. It was like the pain of what she was saying

was to much for me too handle and my body just went. I had my family over over

for dinner, mom, two sisters and their families. My three year old started

throwing a tantrum and my sister got mad and told me he neede a spanking, I had

picked him up and took him to his room and was holding him waiting for him to

calm down and my sister abruptly left. Then everyone else left and later I went

to my moms to try to figure out what was going on. I was very hurt because I

had spent the whole day preparing for the meal. That is when my mom and I got

into it, she told me that my son is just plain mean and we do not disipline him

right and how he ruins every family get together. I reacted because it was so

unfair, he is THREE! And he is not mean. Anyways, she started telling me that I

just felt so sorry for myself and did not realize how awful my kids are. That is

when I started panicing. I left and could barely get to my car. I felt like my

throat was closing and my whole body was shaking. I am hurt so badly! And I

cried so hard that I started having my chiari symptoms real bad, I guess from

the swelling. I spent two hours in bed terrified about my symptoms because they

have not been like that since pre surgery. Is it okay to cry when you have

chiari?

Sorry I am going on and on, I just don't know where to turn, I feel like I have

just lost most of my support system and I don't know how to handle these

feelings.

Love,

Randi
