could people respond to the site as I am VERY interested and confused by

this. I am just in the process of arrangling consults for surgery.

So let me ask this question??? If I DO have Chiari and I DO have the

surgery; am I going to get better and be able to do the things I use to? Or

am I still going to have the headaches, and pain, and swallowing problems and

balance problems and fatigue....etc???

I've heard so many folks say they arent any better; that I'm questioning

whether or not to pursue surgery if I do in fact have this problem....

I guess I'm hoping for my old life back, is that not going to happen???

Would just like to know what folks that have gone through this suggest....

Thanks everyone,
