Guest guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hello all, I haven't posted in a long while. But I have tried to keep up reading. I lost my internet for some time. Anyway back on track. Last I had wrote about was how the ER would not help me with my pain. Not a problem there anymore. I quit going to that ER. LOL. I am lucky to live in Salem, OR. where I have the option to go to several different ones. I have switched Dr.s since also. My last Dr just would not treat the CM. Said that it was not the cause of my problems. My new Dr believes me when I tell him I am in pain. And at my first appt sent me to a Neuro. YAY!!! Well that didn't go to well. After being put on 3 different types of drugs for my " headaches " , I finally asked, " Could the Chiari be the cause of all this? " He didn't think so, but WAS NOT going to rule it out. Thank GOD!!! I went back to my PCP and asked to be sent to OHSU, the neuro was going to send me after the next check if the new meds didn't work anyway. So I finally get my referal. But even they after reviewing my case have decided to send me to their muscle specialist I guess. The best hospital in Oregon and I can't even get into see their NS. I have done well managing my headaches, but the pain in my neck and back is sometimes unbearable. And the virtigo has been awful. Fell a couple of times, not hard caught myself thank goodness. I have found that the Dr in Colorado takes my ins. so I am in the process of getting all my info to send to them. But talk about a pain in the butt. I hope all are having pain free days, and may God be with everyone. CM 5mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
