weak legs

[Guest guest]

Me too! Me too!

I'm so glad you guys are posting about " weak legs " because it

describes me to a T!

I've had problems with my legs and hips for a long time, and mine is

worse on my right side. Yea! Hips have been mentioned! I have tons of

probs with my right (in particular) hip. The docs I've seen have all

said the legs and hip problems are the main reason they don't think

it's chiari. It's also the main reason they think my problems are

conversion (mental)-they're most certainly not!

I was the one who posted on getting in with Milhorat, and thank you

to everyone who responded. I'm still reading over the ones I

received. I'm planning to go see him.

I have two questions for those who feel well enough and interested:

1) does anyone experience sudden nausea and vomiting when laying

down? It's a dizziness/vertigo/bp? issue. Only happens once and

awhile (happenned today).

2) anyone with low back pain that they feel is chiari related? I've

had a " bad back " for as long as I can remember, childhood included.

I have the pain in the shoulder blades someone just posted about.

Feels like I want someone to just " crack " my back. But I also have

low back and (as was just mentioned) hip problems. I've always

identified the source of pain as my back. Now that I have more

chiari symptoms, with neck and head pain, I'm wondering if the back

pain was chiari all along? I had a head trauma as a young child in

which I went unconscious. I believe that's where my pain started,

though I've never gotten a doctor to believe this.

I know from this group that trauma is the leading cause of onset of

symptoms. Maybe I would have believed that I was crazy if I didn't

didn't know better, so I really appreciate this group and WACMA.

Gotta go, and I'm sorry this is so long. Jen
