10 top stupid things said to Chiarian's

[Guest guest]

Kathleen,

Thank you for the funny comments. I could only add that the best one

for us yet was that our neurologist failed to tell us that my

daughter had chiari when she was 5. We are trying to get hold of that

MRI. He had no explanation for her headaches. He suggested taking

migraine meds. What is the point of having an MRI done? We repeated

an MRI (and found a chiari) finally after 7 years of going for

neurological appointments. We were always told that there was no need

to repeat an MRI if the first one was normal. Is this a vicious

circle or what?
