The Dr. sent me for one more MRI, he wants to know the exact size, and then he plans on going in and removing it and recovering the area with a mesh so the fluid will not pool there again.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2002 Report Share Posted May 19, 2002 Throwing up is something to tell the doctor. He may need to do an MRI to check your ventricle size and fluid accumulation in the head. For me the beginning of throwing up were signs of hydrocephalus. You should get this checked out. I hope it's nothing.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2002 Report Share Posted May 19, 2002 Hi, okay, so personally, I experience constant nausea, but rarely vomiting, but my cousin, who also has chiari, was in the hospital all summer last year for persistent vomiting. She couldn't keep anything down for over a month. She got thinner and thinner until hope was almost gone. They tested her for everything under the sun, until finally, an mri showed two things: one was a chiari malformation, but only 3 mm, and this has been determined to be asymptomatic. The other was a tear in her thecal sac. After this diagnosis, she was sent to a chiropractor. After her first adjustment, she was able to keep food down, and she still goes about once a month. She has returned almost to a normal weight now, and experiences virtually no vomiting and little nausea. I don't know that this story will help you at all, but I know how horrible this was for her, and I hope they can figure something out to help you. Best wishes! ~*Carolyn*~ in IL ACM 1- 10 mm new MRI scheduled for next week to determine possible syrinx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 For all you folks with the throw-up problems: I know exactly how it feels to have projectile vomiting! The gagging and dry heaving after it is like hell! I hope you get to the bottom of the problem and get rid of the illness like I did. Since my operation, I haven't had any trouble except a little acid indigestion. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>It is not just you!!! A couple weeks ago I threw up all over my pillow. Thank goodness it was just my pillow and it had a heavy pillow cover plus a pillow case on it. I was also just sitting in my recliner the other day when the nausea hit. I don't always throw up, so thought I best go get my trusty pan for just in case. I never made it out of the chair. It was explosive and then I gagged with what I've always called the dry heaves. Such fun. My doctor said that this nausea is caused from the constipation and celiac sprue. Then there's the nausea from Lupus. But - even though this is what is going on with me sure doesn't mean it is the same for you. There's all sorts of things it could be, including ulcers. Need to see the doctor!!
