I can finally say that I have been given a confirmed diagnosis of Chiari Malformation! The NS said that it is a mild case however. I am plagued still 24/7 with various symptoms that can be down right horrid. I finally got to see a specialist at the Mayfield Clinic in Cincinnati, OH. They have confirmed the dx but, again another doctor and again, a call for more test. I drove 2 1/2 hours for this appointment to be told that I need to have a complete MRI with and without contrast and referred to another doctor in the practice to investigate the cyst in the pineal gland. I am so tired and so need some answers!
