I am wondering because he wnated to start med before mri and i said wait till after we knew now i am going this friday any info will help me i now that i have to find a good neuro-surgen really lost and scared. what are tags at the bottom of posting?
Unfortunately, there is no med that will really do anything for your memory. I think most- if not all- of us with this have memory issues. Especially short term memory. And concentration. These are just the unfortunate symptoms of this condition. I have asked for meds to help- thinking ADHD med might help with concentration, but my NS said that it's not the same, and the ADHD meds won't work. Unless you have ADHD. Stay strong, and hopefully someone here can help you find a good doc. GL to you!!
You may want to start a thread with the topic "Looking for Specialist in X" Roz on here has a list of experts and so does Selma. I am sure both will reply with info on specialist in your area.
Expect that you might have to travel, the DR I am seeing is 100 miles away from where I live. But worth the distance.
There is also already a thread called list of specilialists, I will find it and bump it up to the top so you don't have to search for it.

Hi Jen! Welcome to the Chiari forum. You will find that a lot of us with Chiari have memory problems. Mine is short term and can be very bothersome. I am not sure about meds, but hopefully someone else on here can answer that.
Good luck and make sure any NS you see if a specialist. I have seem two NS, one I was referred to by my PCP and the other I found the name of while researching Chiari. The 2nd was far more knowledgeable and more pleaseant. He is the doctor I decided to have do my surgery.
