wanted to list my symptoms to see if I could get feedback & advice. Thanks!

March 17, 2007

Hello all, I have many symptoms & seem to get new 1's all the time. 1st a little

about me. I started getting headaches & other problems about 3 years ago & some

even longer than that if I really think about it. I had my 1st MRI in august

2006 which came back as ACM1:9mm. I then had a C-spine MRI Sept 2006, which

showed no syrinx. I was having many other problems though but could not get a

doc to order any other MRI's. They said if I had a syrinx it would be in C-Spine

area, not any lower than that. I see Dr. Greene in April so hopefully he will

run the proper tests, but I wanted some advice from my Chiari family on what

they think of all that I am going thru, so here go's. Sorry if this is so long!!

MY SYMPTOMS ARE:
