update on Chiari & high blood pressure

[Guest guest]

First, thanks for all the responses I receieved from all you

regarding this matter.

I emailed 's neurosurgeon at TCI tuesday night. He emailed me

back and explained what he thought was going on with . He

belives 's Retroflexed Odontiod is pressing on his brain stem

causing 's elevated BP and rapid pulse.

When 's BP was really high Tuesday night, he was in no pain,

so we know it wasn't pain related.

He has prescribed a traction device for called a Pronex. Has

any one used this particular device?

The plan is that hopefully by using the device a couple of times a

day, the pressure the odontoid is putting on the brain stem will be

relieved causing his pressure to come down.

Keeping finger crossed!
