Hi,

So glad im not alone!

I was diagnosed 5 years ago, Type 1 with a 7.2mm protrusion.

I was on strong pain meds for a year but have been going strong without them for 4 years apart from over the counter pills. I have been suffering with bad headaches the last 2 months and its just not going away! I have made an appointment but can only see the doc in 2 months.

How have you been coping and have you gone for surgery?

Take Care,

Angelique - SA

Hi Angelique

My wife has been diagnosed with a 5 to 6mm Chiari by DR Tuewen at the Olivedale.

Would love to get in touch.
