Hi Mel,

I read your post in the introductions forum. There is a forum here on NT for Arnold Chiari Malformation & Syringomyelia (you mentioned Chiari Malformation in your other post); you might post something there as well.

Are any of the neurologists you're seeing headache migraine specialists? Many neurologists treat headaches, but few are so specialized that they limit their practices solely to headache, and that's the type I mean. It may take some doing to find one; I suffered from near-daily migraines for a couple of years before I finally stumbled upon a migraine specialist in my own area, and he was able to help me significantly with three questions.

What kinds of meds have you tried for the headaches and for the nausea? We don't want to suggest anything that you've already tried that hasn't worked.

I recall reading another new post regarding pseudotumor (a.k.a. Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension) within the last few days.
