Any information that you can provide would be much appreciated.

That's basically right, especially because you already have significant symptoms, and especially since the fluid flow is being interfered with. Persistent CSF obstruction causes compression of the brainstem and spinal cord and can result in inability to breathe, severe apnea, coma, and ultimately, death. This cannot be treated lightly!! Your employer needs to get that. It's not a breast augmentation or tummy tuck, for God's sake! (I'm so pi$$ed at that idiot employer of yours, all I can see is red! ) Since you already have fluid obstruction, your brainstem is being compressed, inhibiting its ability to do its job, which is controlling heartbeat and breathing, among others.

Good luck, hon'. I'm here for you. There are lots of sites, too. Let me know what you have, and I'll give you what I have.

Well..I have Okay days, bad days and really bad days. Today happens to be a bad day. I just received information that I have a Hearing at the Industrial Commission on the 13th. The hearing officer will rule on the Chiari, or the exacerbation of. I have forwarded your information to my attorney Lizard, I hope that you do not mind. He has stated that Chiari, is way out of his league. I am sure that he has checked with other W/C attorney's, and Neurosurgeons..regarding the new information. The last time that I saw him, was in June. My employer asked for a postponement, regarding the Chairi. He made an off the wall comment, by stating basically all I was having was headaches. He also stated that after the surgery I would be just fine. I was taken aback, and explained more of the symptoms to him. I also explained that I would never be able to work in my field again. He said that I could be a nerd like him. I am sure that he was trying to be comforting...
Well, law school was in the plan's but never a desk jockey.

Sorry to keep beating the same drum!

Does anyone have any information about limitation's in the labor market (specifically within the law enforcement field), with symptomatic Chiari, or Chiari after the surgery?
