I was recently told I have "mild Chiari 1 Malformation". I don't know where to begin...but I will start with the first serious problem. I had sudden onset of weakness on left side. I thought I was having a stroke. I then had increased problems with my memory. The worst part was a headache that I didn't think possible. I feel like the right side of my head is going to blow off. I notice that I have right ear pain and pressure with the headaches with dizziness and nausea. I also have recently been having seizures and was placed on Dilantin and Topomax. I have been hospitalized multiple times. During these hospital stays I was basically told I need a psych evaluation. I kept trying to get the neurologist to listen to me but had no success. I am now at my wits end because of the terrible symptoms I am having and I just don't know what to do. I am suppose to go to U of M very soon but I am scared that the doctor there won't here me and truly listen to me. Any suggestions?
