Just wanted to say, I am so very thankful for you all of you have been so kind as to answers my questions on here regarding the chiari.
I have not canceled my surgery for march 19th, but I did go yesterday for a 2nd opinion with a neurologist. He was shocked that no one had taken the time to do these tests before just rushing me into surgery.
I will be having the CINE MRI and a couple others hopefully all before the 19th. He also requested I get a 2nd surgical opinion, so I am doing that as well.
He is still concerned though about all the swelling in my eyes, and eyelids. He said in his history of chiari, he has never experienced this as typical chiari symptom? He is unsure why this would be happening. Now, mind you, he isnt a chiari specialist.
Anyone else have this? This is one of my chief complaints. Is the pressure in my head, accompanied with swelling in my eyes, and eyelids.
Again, thank you all who take the time to help those of us, who just arent as educated in chiari :) It is so helpful and Im so garteful to each and everyone of you :)
Thank you Selma, for running this board!! You are amazing!
Hugs
Amanda
