Re: Rollercoasters (from MD Consult)

[Guest guest]

Wow, Sharon.

I'd been looking for " proof " to show my husband. He still thinks it's ok for

Kenny to ride rollercoasters. Kenny, who was decompressed 3 1/2 weeks

ago,also has SM and BI.

I plan to show him this as soon as he gets home today. Thanks,

Peppi

Sheila -- I agree!! Maybe we should write the authors and ask them if

they've done a study on Chiarians w/out syrinx?? If they haven't maybe

they will?? Worth a shot!

You're very welcome, Peppi!! When I saw that, after the convos on

rollercoasters, I had to share! MD Consult is amazing; they have a

10-day free trial, if you want to check it out?? http://www.mdconsult.
