I'm new to the group

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My name is Darla and I'm new to the group. I found

out, through an MRI in 2000, that I have ACM I. I

have suffered headaches most of my adult life and

neckpain since the birth of our first child (I had an

epidural with both children). In 1999 I had sinus

surgery, which alleviated some pain behind my eyes,

but the headaches and neck pain have remained. That

was when the ENT decided to ask for the MRI.

I have been seeing a neurologist for over a year

now, who has prescribed me with antidepressants. She

diagnosed me as being depressed and having migraines.

She said the Chiari Malformation was too small to be

symptomatic. Yet, here I am with the same pain, the

same ringing in the ears.

Have any of you had the same experience with

Neurologists? I have my next appointment on Sept.

24th, and want to bring this up, but feel timid and

put off about the whole thing. Am I wrong to question

her?

Thank you,

Darla
