Does playing games like Guitar Hero affect anyone else?

[Guest guest]

I love playing the game, but it seems like it causes me to have

horrible head pain almost instantly, and after playing just one song

and I look away, everything is moving like waves......

Sounds really weird I know but just curious if this something chiari

related. If games like this affects us some how?

Thanks in advance,

It's the movement that probably caused issues.  It might be bad for you and good

for the next Chiarian.  For instance, some Chiarians can't have the hot water in

a shower on their neck becuase it cuases symptoms, and yet, I love the hot water

 shower on my neck, it relieves the muscles. 

 

When you feel better you might try some of the movements, in isolation, say do

one movement one day. Then a few days later do another.  The reason is to to see

which movements set off the symptoms for you. 

 

I have trouble just watching certain video games or even movies.  Quick, jerky

camera movements or the panoramic type moves really set me off.  Go figure ...
