Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hi, I have Chiari 1 and TCS, had my first decompression and laminectomy in 1996, another in 1997, TCS surgery in 1998, then a final decompression and laminectomy in 1998. I have just been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism - specifically Hashimotos disease, which has in turn caused me to have hypothyroidism. I am returning to the doctor (GP) tomorrow for some more information and tests, but am wondering if there is a link to chiari with thyroid problems....? I know that the pituitary gland can be affected by chiari, and my dr did test my other hormone levels - only for oestrogen and progesterone, and these 2 were normal. Should I be worried about any link between chiari and thyroid problems? Are there any tests that can show that there is a link? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Lena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
