I feel your pain!
Hi! I sent an email to the admin on here looking for a doctor who can help me, and any opinions would be greatly appreciated. I was diagnosed with Chiari 1 in December, after my Rheumotologist thought I should get an MRI after seeing her for almost 2 years for Fibromyalgia. I was sent to a Neurologist who told me that my Chiari isn't bad enough to cause any of my worsening symptoms, and said that I had 3 bulging discs as well, and that with the Fibro was causing my problems. He recommended an anesthetic block for the pain in my neck. I decided against that because of the low success rate, etc. My Rheumo continues to attempt to treat my Fibro pain with all the common Rx's (Lyrica, Cymbalta) that don't work, and treats my pain as minimal, and pretty much acts now like I am a drug seeker. I am in pain every day, I am starting to have trembling in my hands (which she treated with Nortriptyline), and many other symptoms. I feel helpless!
