I went to see a neurosurgeon yesterday and was basically told that chiari is something you'll have to live with for the rest of your life, we can't do much for you. He also told me that the 20 other symptoms I have may not be from the chiari they could be from other things. However the other symptoms I have besides the headaches have been linked to chiari malformation. It may just be a coincidence but I promise I'm not going crazy. My question is has anyone been experiencing derealization with chiari. And my other question is do you think I should see another doctor for a second opinion or should I learn to deal with this?!
