Hi Lizard . . . I'm here!
I don't know too much about this condition (it's relatively rare though still, isn't it?), but my sister was dx with syringomyelia a few years ago.
I have MS, and many of the worst of my lesions are in my spine. We seem to have a lot of the same symptoms and concerns, so that's why I put my hat in to be a moderator here.
Welcome, and nice to meet you!
Cherie
