Chiari?
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have been having constant headaches for as long as I can remember but they started getting worse and I would start having unexplained falls. One landed me in the er because I was going down the stairs and feel down and I got told that that was because my headaches are really severe. My right eye tends to do a weird thing were the eyelids feel like the are fluttering and they are not outwards. My left left randomly gives out on me as I am walking. I got mri done back in January because of the headaches and have gone through Pt which didn't help my balance or my headache.

In January after getting told that nothing was wrong and that everything looks normal on my mri I was okay with it until my daughter got diagnosed with Chiari 1. Than My husband and I got talking about getting my mri pictures to take a look at them ourselves. To me it looks as if I have chiari but I would like to see what you guys think. Any input would be helpful. These headaches do not go away with pain medication.

I have someone that I know tell me from my mri pictures this-
Looks like the flow of CSF is blocked to me, fluid looks built up around outer brain inside skull, looks like flattened corpus callosum and empty sella which indicate intercranial hypertension as far as Chiari possibly Chiari zero or 1
