Re: a comical view on the update on my daughters trip to the ER,

[Guest guest]

the fastest I got in to the er was claining possible

blood clot to the brain.

the nus nurse told me on the phone that if the pt had

a electrical face she probably had a clot on the brain

that's how I got a fast MRI and found out I had

Chiari.

Budds Chiari has to do with a blood patch to the brain

I think? the relationship is possibly the same doc

that named us named this procedure as well. that's

just a guess. hugs Debby

Close but no cigar <g>

Budd-Chiari syndrome is clotting of the hepatic vein, the major vein that

leaves the liver. Most patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome have an underlying

condition that predisposes to blood clotting. About 10% have polycythemia

vera, a condition in which abnormal amounts of red blood cells are. About

10% of patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome take birth control pills which

also may predispose to blood clotting.

Le I could not touch my nose with eyes closed before surgery but

I can now that I`ve had the decompression.

Another test I could not do before surgery--- was to shake my hand

from the wrist real fast continueing. The right wwrist worked continuial

but when I shook the left It just wobbled. Now they work the same. Marilyn
