Oh yeah this is a nice topic to bring up! i have had the surgery and i feel ran down and like i have the worse hang over headache ever before and during and after a dramatic weather change exspecially the cold fronts that move in. Its quite common unfortunately. Try drinking a cup of coffee with caffine you will be suprised at how fast it all goes away.
Thanks for the responses everybody. I have minor issues outside the weather disturbances, a constant dull headache (low level pain though), some nausea. And struggle with upper back pain. I've come a long way though! I maintain a normal life now. I hope all of you feel better soon.
I am 1 yr post op and I do feel weather has something to do with the pressure in my head. As it get's cooler, I have more pain. At least I'm blaming it on Chairi. :) Having pain issues every day makes it hard to actually put a finger on it. I am so glad to hear your feeling good ther wise. I can't wait for that day to come.
Hi the weather issues r per anda post op...not just post op....I had weather issues for yrs, I felt like a wlaking barometer.,long b4 I got a dx.

I don't, but I haven't had surgery. For me, anything having to do with bones is affected by weather...so it makes perfect sense if you've already had surgery!!
I broke my leg as a kid, and have had multiple knee surgeries on my other leg (and they had to cut away bone)...both cramp so bad when the weather is changing, I can nearly predict rainstorms on their way. The pain is deep in the bone and the only thing that helps is heat. I can only imagine that your head would hurt just as bad...and pain like that in the head would be terrible.
Have you tried a warm pack? Nothing too hot since it's your head! Or a hot shower?
Hope you feel better
Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.
We have had many threads on this topic, u can use the search this community feature to locate the older threads.....but the consencenses is it is the Chiari clashing with weather/seanon changes that can affect us.
Surgery will not get rid of all symptoms as u will still have Chiari.
Many chiarians also have related issues that can also play into this.
2004....wow that is sometime ago, outside of the weathers disturbances do u have ne other issues?
