Hi, posting from Cape Town, South Africa

My post op relief was a dream but 2 years on my symptoms have creeped up on me with a vengeance. Sharp stabbing pain in back, tightness in neck, sensitivity to light, trouble focussing on text when reading, constant need to use the loo, good ole "Chiari" headache is back! Cannot hold my blowdry brush (imagine how long it takes me to do my hair!), vertigo. Painkillers have helped some but I think I've overdone it over the years - tum burns now if I consume even one pill - doc says I may have developed an ulcer!

My apologies for my rant - just had to get it out...
