I know this is very old but if you happen to get this notified to you,  I was in utero, born and lived on base during the contamination years and just recently got diagnosed with CM but have had symptoms since the time I can remember, I'm 36 currently.

This site is very laid back and non-judgemental. Selma is one of the top members and has extremely amount of knowledge. I can say that I do not feel there were ANY judgmental undertones in her answers. It's too bad you feel offended.

Good luck in your quest.

  The thing is, u may have had Chiari since birth and just found it and since there is an issue with the water there u r trying to find a reason u have it.....and there may not be answers for that question.

But should u have other questions about Chiari we will do our best to help u with answers.

Thank you. I'm just wondering. So many questions and so little answers.

  Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.

The closest I ever got to Camp LeJeune was visiting my sister who lived outside it....and it was only a few days.....

I also understand ur reason for ur question....the water contamination that was discovered there....

  Sorry as I don't know if this will find answers for u, or the ones u were looking for....but know u r not alone in dealing with this condition and related conditions.
