Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 Hi, I would also like to know about this. I am helping a friend w/Chiari and she is currently waiting for approval from Blue Cross for more PT. I would like to appeal the decision should it be denied. Thank you very much.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 I believe Chiari cannot advance from one Type to another. But you can be Misdiagnosised with one Type but have another, I think. lol Take Care, Brande, RHIT mymocha@... > > I hope someone knows the answer to this question.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Hi Kat, Welcome to the group. My situation was about the same as yours is now. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Before my surgery, I was in very bad shape. I'm talking about, barely able to get a sentence out straight, in more pain than I thought possible to withstand and an array of other problems. Now, three years post op, I'm doing much, much better. In most cases things get better. There are still things that are left over, but nothing like before. A little fear is healthy for you, just don't let it keep you from doing what you need to do. All my best wishes go with you to your appointment. Beth Brinna's Dream.com www.brinnasdream.com (no subject) | Hi, | My name is Kat, And I'm new to the group. I've been diagnosed with ACM about | a month ago after a car accident. I didn't understand why the bad headaches | and the fatigue which is intermittenly was happening. After reading about ACM | most of my questions were answered. I feel horrible all the time and in | constant pain, will this ever subside? I have a appointment with a | Nuerosurgeon on 10/01, and I'm scared. Thanks for listening. Any info will | help. | | God Bless,, | Kat | | Help section: http://www.yahoogroups.com/help/ | | NOTE: NCC refers to posts with No Chiari Content | | To Unsubscribe Yourself: | chiari-unsubscribe | | WACMA Home: Http://www.wacma.com | | WACMA Online Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiari/ | | | Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading articles and web sites about any disorder can become very confusing. Even though a person has read the material, it doesn't always " sink in " . Thus, asking questions is a way of sorting out all the information and figuring out what applies to a particular situation. This is one reason WHY support groups exist. I run two on line support groups. I know a lot about both disorders. I never get tired of answering the same questions over and over, even though the information is in our FAQ and on the internet. I know what it is like to be a new person overwhelmed by information. Add to that, the headaches, the fatigue, the pain and it is even harder to try to figure out what you want to know. I've been on many email lists--including ASAP and many others. This group runs more smoothly than ANY email list I've ever been on! People here do a lot of messages via private email, thus leaving the list cleaner. I applaud the members of this group and the moderators!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 This is a sad experience all the way around for everyone, I have worked in EMS for 28 years and have worked with law enforcement from Texas DPS, to SO and SO reserve officers to PD and Constables. I have had problems where our jobs crossed paths but nothing like this. The whole things boils down to what I see as a lot of errors on every ones part. The OHP Officer went looking for a confrontation and got one. In my opinion he should be disciplined for use of excessive force, receive counseling for anger management and have to retrain with a FTO. Trooper should not be fired and yes people he is a hero for serving in our armed forces. Medic White and Medic along with the patient and her family deserve an public apology from Trooper and the OHP, but no criminal or civil action should be taken by anyone of the parties. The one thing lost in this whole mess is that each of us, law enforcement, FD, EMS all call on each other for assitance and safety, and no matter howTrooper acted on this day it may come a time that Medic White will need his help or vice versa.
