fever headaches
turns out my headache was a fever headache. i threw up. tylonal did the trick to reduce my fever but i have to take it every few hours to keep it down. i did call my doctor that was on call but because the scar looks fine then i'm probably okay. sucks. now i can feel it when my fever goes up again because of those darn headache pains. uggh.

Your story sounds similar to my 13 year old daughter's. She had chiari surgery on Sept 29, 2008. It went well. Fast recovery. Right now we're in the hospital, though, trying to figure out whey she's had headaches since. Her scar is fine. She had some fluid (slight) behind it, but they removed it to test it. The lab ruined the sample, and there wasn't enough left in her head to gather more. Her fever is controlled with tylenol, she knows when they're coming, and gets headaches with the fevers.
Do you have any ideas?
