Guest guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm glad to hear you say that about anger issues, Virginia! I'm 18 now, but I've always been an angry kid! I walked wicked late as well, and when I first started walking I only would walk on my toes. I was late to toilet train as well... My major issues have been posterior headaches, dizziness, and balance issues! Hope this helps! -Mandy On Jan 18, 2010, at 12:18 PM, " Virginia " wrote: > Sam, > > I wanted to quickly reply that we (CCI) also have a Chiari Parents > Group!
