Are any of you from the Pittsburgh, Pa area??? If so can anyone recommend a GOOD "Chiari" neurologist? I have a NS on standby if I should ever decide to go through with the surgery. But I am in desperate need for a neurologist who will treat me for the symptoms and research things further. You know like order a Cine flow MRI to check the spinal fluid. Possibly even an MRI of my pituitary. It's like pulling teeth for anything with my current Neurologist. All they EVER want to do is to push pills (and not even the good kind!) and I HATE taking medication. I'd rather know why and what rather than covering it up without any investigation. But trust me, when I'm in the middle of one of my big painful headaches that lasts a week or more I'll gladly take something to knock me out!

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much!
