Guest guest Posted May 23, 1999 Report Share Posted May 23, 1999 >My most frightening symptom is when I feel like I am just floating away,lifting out of my body and my sense of identity starts to dissipate. I had that to happen to me quite a bit, and it was the most scary of all, I had some other thing that went along with it, and yes the Dr's told me it was panic attacks, and some of it might have been, when something like that happens you get more frightened, and it gets worse, and that is jsut what is felt like, you were sliping away,, I was afraid to go to sleep that I would not wake up, so I stayed up for nights at a time and when I was to sleepy to know I would fall asleep, I was told that when things are blocked off that your body starts sorta shutting down, it makes sense, thank Goodness!!!! surgery took care of that awful symptom!!! and I hope it never returns, I did nothave a herniation either, but I was blocked off alot, Dr Milhorat was the only person that (besides Dr Heffez) said I had chiari, I wish you luck and Ihope you get some relief, any time you need to talk or get scared, call me ok?? that goes for anyone, I dont mind posting my # 334-445- 0760 take care pamH ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: /group/chiari - Simplifying group communications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
