Even tho you've had surgery for chiari 1 malformation decompression and it's been5 months. is there anything you can do to feel normal again? not so tired, irritable, head still hurting everyday headache just not yourself?

See your neurosugeon: Go back and see your neurosurgeon again. Make sure your cerebellar decompression is still open and not causing compression. If not, see a neurolgist who should be able to help with your headaches. Unfortunately, not all chiari malformations improve with surgery- good luck.
