Guest guest Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi all, I recently had a c.t. scan that show my tonsils at 4.7mm.I thought I would list my symptoms for others to see and get there opinion. Thirsty all the time.(not sure) Tied all the time. (always) Migraines( back left side of head and neck.) Since 12 Visual migraines(shooting stars, dots swirls very vivid.)Since 12 Convulsions until about 5 years old Bad vision all the time (see dots, swirls and the constant outline of everything I have been looking at.) Progressively gotten worse in last 5 years. Noise sensitivity Numbness/ tingling in hands (getting worse) last 2 years. (Figured it was smoking) Numbness in left arm (getting worse) last year. (Figured it was smoking) Tight sore neck, shoulders. (Last 6 years getting worse) Painful Muscle spasms in left side neck. (Last 2 months) Shoulder joint issues/ shoulder impingement (getting worse over last year) Heart palpitations.( last few years) (Figured it was smoking) Pain in center left side of deep in chest feels like a sharp crochet needle pulling out. Middle stabbing back pain, painful burning sensation in middle back. (started 10-12 getting worse) Burning creeping feeling on top and back of head.(last 2 months) Short/long term memory issues.(always) Mumbling and difficulty communicating what I'm thinking. (Not sure) Too tied to communicate. (Last 2 years). I have been referred to a neurologist in Perth named Dr wally Knezevic anyone know if he has Chiari experience? Also does anyone know any Neuro in Western Australia that will not say " Sir due to the fact that your c.t. scan shows you are .3mm below the standard 5mm regulations, I feel you may be making up all your symptoms and suffering from an acute form of hypocondriacism (LOL) " . Sorry for the sarcasm I have talked to a few g.p. about chiari and they didn't even know what it was. One had to google it and said " Nar that's not what you have guaranteed, only children have problems with that, Trust me you don't have that. " I would hate to go the Neuro and he say something as stupid as that. Thanks all Shayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
