I am 45 yrs old and for years have had headaches and dizziness and pressure in my head, but all the drs said it was migraines.. In 2009 it started to get worse with numbness and actually getting to the point to where I could not speak, sweating profusely, dizzy to the point of almost passing out, and really lethargic. I still took it as migraines that is what i had been told in 2010 I had a spell so bad that they had to call ambulance and it landed me in hospital for 3 days with all kinds of test to find out I have Chiari 1. As I have done research on this and found that all I have been experiencing is due to Chiari, not only that i have a bulging disc at C5-6 that is abutting my spine and deforming it.
Does anyone know of a neurosurgeon in the Harford County area, I have had 3 Drs tell me surgery, one being a neurosurgeon which I had to stop seeing because he did not take my insurance. I was sent to one today only to be told it is all in my head and that the numbness and tingling and numbness in face and pressure in my head and neck where not from Chiari or from my bulging disc. I do not know about anyone else but I am getting frustrated and down right disgusted, I am tired of of this and just want some relief... I do not take kindly to being told that i do not know what is going on with my own body.. Does anyone know of a good neruosurgeon in this area the help would be greatly appreciated.
