Why isn't chiari considered as a problem ??

[Guest guest]

 I am going to give you all my opinion why.When I was finally diagnosed after

four years of suffering from ages 13 to 17 which was in the '70's there were no

MRI's which would not show the soft tissue problems so I understand that it was

difficult back then as I say that is my opion as to why then.

 

  Now we have MRI's which show the Brain which is herniated and blocking the

spinal fluid flow yet many Drs. will say chiari is not serious your brain isnt

supposed to be below the base of the skull the skull is there to protect your

brain I think.This leads me to the Question.

                             WE NEED AWARENESS

& Everyone,

I don't post often if ever but I do read all of the posts everyday and thank

everyone for the support and knowledge you share with me!

Everything you have said, , is sooo true! I've often wondered myself the

same things! The last time i checked the 3 most important thing to make sure not

to injure or damage were " your heart, spine, and brain " .... The 3 MAJOR THINGS

that are affected by our condition (the 2 cause the 3rd to go bad).... Lol I

wonder sometimes if these health care professionals really have a clue what they

are doing!

Thanks for saying what I've been thinking! Blessings to everyone especially to

and her family!!

Hope everyone is having a pain free start to their week,
