I just found out that I have this malformation about 3 days ago and was put on antidepresents to see if it would help with my symptoms... My doctor says she's had a few patients on them for similar symptoms... and condition... She says most of them the symptoms become bearable and can bypass having surgery done... I don't know how severe your symptoms are but you may suggest it if you symptoms are not as severe as some... I was constantly dizzy, nauseated, shaky, and even chronic headaches with migraines with aura... But so far the meds that she put me on have seem to help somewhat... I am hoping it only gets better from here... I know its not much help since It was just discovered... but I do hope maybe it will help you.
Hi and welcome to the forum.
There is a list here of drs for u to research....Chiari drs are few...so most of us will need to travel to get to one.
It all depends on how far and where u r willing to travel.Check out chiari specailists thread here on the forum.
Please stay away fro chiropractors they can cause more damage than good....
Once u see a chairi specialist that dr can tell u if u r a surgical candidate or not and if not what u can do to lessen the symptoms u r having.
Please feel free to post more questions...and share ur experiences with us.
