hey there. my name is stephanie/andriss and i was dx of chiari on 9/17/10
and i have yet to see my doctor. i scheduled an appt on 10/29 but he had to cancel and yet to reschedule. my numbers are 5mm, and i am worried just like you. together maybe we can do our journey to the unknown, because i never knew about this, never heard of this until i got it. i live in denver colorado, and i have a doctor by the name of john oro, who happens to be the finest in this field, and has a chiari center in aurora which is about 15 minutes from my home.

Don't wait for the dr. to reschedule. You have to be very assertive and not take no for an answer. I learned that the hard way 3 years ago. Diagnosed w/ 12mm herniation and was on bed rest for months waiting for the dr.s to sort everything out. No one can stand up for you like you.
