Hello Brandy and WELCOME to NeuroTalk!

Here is a link to help you begin finding your way around the forums here at NT:

Arnold Chiari Malformation & Syringomyelia

I'm not a doctor and only have limited knowledge with Chiari but I do recommend contacting your Neurologist if you are having headaches. It may be nothing but your headaches could be signaling something worse.

Please feel free to roam around and join in anywhere. Kick off your shoes, pull up your favorite chair and stay a while.

I look forward to seeing you around the board.

Hi, welcome to NT,

It's good you have found this site.

Although I don't understand your medical condition, there are many here who do.

It is had to deal with, I know.

Take care...

Welcome to Neuro talk. Another member did post the forum to search. I do know what Chiari is, but I am not a doctor just a member here on the site. I am sorry you are experiencing these headaches. Please do call your Neurologist. Any time you have headaches that seem to be worse, is the time to call and get an evaluation. I hate to go to the doctor too, but perhaps it is time to give him a call. I am glad you found Neuro Talk, there will be other members that have this disorder to talk to. I hope you find the remedy to the headaches. ginnie
