Pardon me for being blunt, but this "doctor" is a QUACK!! Dehydrating yourself is supposed to make you better??!! Did he get his degree from a roll of Scott tissue?? Holy crap...

I don't know who you have seen yet, but you need a neurosurgeon who is well-versed in Chiari, and not many are. Go to the following sites for recommendations:

www.ASAP.org
www.WACMA.com
www.chiarione.org
www.conquerchiari.org

Good luck...
