Hi everyone!

I'm a new member here and I'm looking to make the most of using this support group. Does anyone have any tips or advice that would be of use for new members?

I will mostly be around in the Chiari Malformation group. I was diagnosed in 1993 with a Chiari I Malformation and had decompression surgery in 1994. I have had no symptoms until a few years ago. I've only recently started to figure out that my symptoms are most likely Chiari related. I will be seeing Dr. Iskandar and American Family Children's Hospital in Madison, WI, however, my first appointment is not until September 19th. I am also trying to get into The Chiari Clinic in Milwaukee, WI to get another opinion.

Thanks, Valerie
