It's comforting to know I am not alone but it would be easier to understand why this is happening. I fear the doctors saying "this is all due to stress" because that's all I heard when I was struggling to find answers about my chiari. It took 2 years, 6 NS's, 3 neurologists, 2 ENT's, 1 neuroopthamalogists, and 3 neuropychiatrists to determine I should have the surgery for the chiari. Over that 2 years, I slowly began to worsen as my symptoms increased and I was using a wheelchair and lot's of drugs to function. It was a nightmare!

I am happy that I am through all that and I am able to walk around freely and enjoy many of the things I was unable to do but I am scared that the symptoms will slowly come back as they are beginning to.

Thanks for your reply
