Guest guest Posted June 13, 2000 Report Share Posted June 13, 2000 Hi, This is just my Opinion, and how I face this issue. It is such an indivudual thing........it may or may not bother you. Be careful, and that just goes for anybody with Alcohol. You have to judge it by the effects that you get from Drinking. If you think they are something more then just what the average Joe deals with with Alcohol, then maybe you shouldn't drink........etc. I hope that all makes sense.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 Hi, I believe that your body will tell you if you should not consume any alcohol or not. I can't even drink 1 beer without having severe symptoms affect my arms, legs and chest. I feel like I am being " squeezed. " It's an awful feeling.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 Hi, I can't touch alcohol, or anything fermented and I also have a very difficult time when I eat sugar. So I stay away from it all.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2000 Report Share Posted June 15, 2000 I have found that drinking does not affect my Chiari unless the beverage is Gin or has lots of preservatives. For instance, I can drink Southern Comfort until I fall down - not on my head of course :-) But if I drink cheap wine like that Franzia in a box, I get the mother, brother, and sister of all headaches. I have found that it is not the wind, but in fact the sulfite preservatives that cause the headaches. If I go to a wine shop and get wine that specifically states on the label that it has no preservatives, I don't get a headache from it. > Re: Hi Everyone!!
