Re: Knotweed !Problems-chiari

[Guest guest]

Hi

yes the MRI or CAT is the way to define Chiari--as its a description of how low

the brain is sitting and how far under the opening ( foramen magnum) the brain (

cerebellum/cerebellar tonsils) are compared to normal people.

you can have a very big Chiari (sitting very low) with no sx or a mild one (

sitting a tiny bit lower) and a lot of serious sx--so just having it isnt

necessarily the issue--kind of like Lyme--its the sx and what if anything can be

done

as for the consult it may take 4-6 weeks for them to evaluate what I sent to

them and decide if they can help eiother or both of us so it may be awhile---but

Ill keep all informed
