Well,this explains the severe pain and pressure

IT'S a THUNDERSTORM @!!! I should have known !!! I mean really. I don't watch the weather much as here in New Orleans, it is pbvious that summer is full of 103 degree weather daily, daily or weekly thunderstorms and showers. I kept sitting here thinking I shouldn't be feeling like this this far after surgery....turns out it is just my pressure sensitive head . LOL, I just thought I would share this ah-ha moment.... I really should have known this was coming...my hubby said the kids would be stuck inside most of the week. Gotta let them swim and burn their enerrgy early in the morning to avoid the thunderstorms. Want to know what makes it even better...
It started storming literally the second me and the kids walked out of the store...and since I can't run I have to walk slowly to the car and get me and the kids completely soaked. Ugh ! Then we get home finially get in the housem agian we are soaked, to walk into the door of all the lights out. This is going to be a long day......

I'm glad you were blessed with a storm even though you were soaked.  I would stand in the rain and relish in it right now.  Here in MI we haven't had rain in Muskegon for almost 2 wks and in the 100's.  Thank goodness for the water hose and air.  :)   I love playing in the water, but it is sure taking it's toll on a lot of people around here.  Send some rain our way will ya.  
Stay dry.

I was just on the CSF website (Chiari Springomyelia Foundation) looking up craniocervical instability, re Iris. It seems like a really good site.  I noticed that they are offering a grant to doctors who would like to enter this field (promising) and they are also doing research on families with two members with Chiari. Just thought I'd share :)

Well, I am only almost a month post op (tomorrow) . I have not....it as though Selma still has issues when rain and different pressures arise as well. It may just be one of those things that don't go away. This Chiari stuff is so confusing., and there is still so much unknown about it. There really needs to be more research, because it affects more people than they think !!!

I know what you mean when you are relieved to know the reason for your headache.  I am sensitive to the weather too, actually, that is often the only time I get ha's. Have you heard whether this will change in time after having surgery?
