trauma and chiari

[Guest guest]

Hi! I no exactly what your talking about I am at the end of a 5 year lawsuit

battle with an insurance company due to an accident I was in in 1997. I fell

and hit the back of my head on a shelf and immediatley after falling I

started suffering from the most painful headache of my life. That was just

the beginning of my downfall with my health. Ive been suffering from severe

headaches, painful neck pain, muscle spasms, fatigue, dizzyness, and loss of

feeling in my arms and legs. Now, I have never had any of these symptoms at

all during my life and Im only 34 years old. Occassionaly, when I was a

child I had sinus headaches in the front of my head between my eyes for short

periods of time. Usually occured with the change of seasons and after the age

of 7 I hardly had them at all. This was a completely different type of

headache then what I suffer from now. I cant even compare the two. Anyway,

the insurance company is trying to say I have had this condition all my life

and I even had headaches as a child so the fall had nothing to do with it.

Which has frustrated me more than you could imagine. My headaches that I have

now are in the back of my head and radiate upward and behind my ears and are

so painful. I have never had to take pain killers, muscle relaxers my entire

life intill this fall and Im taking them now just to get through my days. The

stress of it all is just so overwhelming. Well, I will let you know how mine

all works out. Also, good luck to you and if you receive any information

from others please let me know. I dont know to many who have trauma related

chiari/syringomyelia it would be great to have a list who have. Any help I

can give you I would gladly give.
