| > Hello,

| > I am glad to have discovered this website in the Internet, because I would

like

| > to exchange experience with the disease ARNOLD-CHIARI GRADE I.

| > We are living in Germany and my mother (56 years old) suffers since last

year

| > from the Arnold-Chiari illness grade I which we did not know before.

Everything

| > started with difficulties in walking. But it took too much time that the

| > sickness was dicovered so that the walking difficulties became worse. On 8th

| > November 2001 finally she was operated in a German hospital. Although the

| > operation was successful according to the doctors, her situation

unfortunately

| > did not improve, just the opposite: it became worse. She cannot walk anymore

and

| > was lying 6 weeks in bed in the hospital.

| > As the paralysing includes the pelvic zone, her bladder does not work

anymore.

| > She depends on a " Katheter " .

| > On 20th December she was brought into a rehabilitation hospital for making a

| > therapy. There they discovered that her blood was not O.K. As there was not

| > enough vitamin B12 in the blood, she received now two blood transfusions. On

| > Monday she will re-start her therapy. I hope we did not lose too much time

| > during the one-week stay in hospital for the blood transfusions.

| >

| > My question: did anyone make the same experience which means that the person

| > could not walk although the operation was successful??? May we hope that her

| > situation will improve?

| >

| > I would be glad to receive an answer. Thanks in advance.
