Hi my name is Danielle and i am 31 year old. I have had many many years of headaches and i ave talked till i was blue in the face trying to explain my symptoms and ive been blown off. So one day about 9 months ago i walked into the doctor office and told the doctor flat out I want a MRI to look for Chiari. Sure enough i have Chiari, and ive heard the docs say its small nothing to worry about or hearing that people over react to a chiari diagnosis. Ive once again gotten blown off. I asked for CINE and my neurologist said no they are not worth the money chiari isnt a big deal.

He did say i need to go to look for Syringomyelia but the MRI was clean the nurse said. The next day the doctor called back and said my Chiari was more serious then what he first thought as he had not seen a Chiari bigger then about 3mm and mine is 20mm.

Now Im at a stand still trying to find a NS.
