I am 55 and was diagnosed with chiari in June. I have head and neck aches, some dizziness and nausea that causes vomiting. My daughters wedding is a week and a half away and the Anti inflammatory drugs I was given are helping the head aches a little but the stomach trouble is making it hard to function. I had the stomach trouble before meds so I can't blame it on that. Any advice would be appreciated.

Possibly go and see your GP and explain your symptoms. They may be able to give you some anti sickness medication. If you can, try and make sure you eat before taking your anti-inflammatory medication as you shouldn't take them on an empty stomach. Hopefully that will help

My advice is to take it easy. Just RELAX. Exertion makes all of the symptoms surface and just linger--makes everything so much harder. When you're at the wedding don't dance too hard, drink a lot of WATER and not a ton of alcohol, eat less greasy foods as it is easier on the stomach. The best thing to do is relax. If the music is loud or the lights are too bright, step out for a minutes and take a few deep breaths to get more oxygen into your system. Deep breathing is helpful for me and I have Chiari. Just take it slow. Slow and steady wins the race. Hang in there
