Guest guest Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Hello everyone! We got back from our fiasco of a trip to Chicago last night. I got to tell you I was a little dissappointed in Dr. Frim, but he is human and I will e-mail him next to let him know how I feel. He has an overload of Patients right now, and saw double the amount of people Thursday. He was off the week before...Word is he'll be getting a doctor in there to help him with his load, in June....Yeh!!!!! He will definitely stick with the ACM and SM patients, since his knowledge there cannot be touched by another pediatric NS. Well we had an appointment @ 1pm and saw him @ 645pm....Needless to say was furious by then....He chilled a little when Dr. Frim came in and was joking with him... does indeed have a syrinx, but he's not sure if he'd lable the Chiari low lying or not...Bottom line is he was tired and needed to examine the child. has already developed curvature of the upper spine and the headaches are his major problems along with the fatigue.... He told him to be careful and come back in 6 mths for new MRI's to follow up.. He also saw me...He said I had a boarderline Chiari(Chiari-O) , degenerative disc disease, and then are you all sitting down......?????? a stroke in the left part of my brain....Scared me half to death.....I think it scared him too.... He told me to excersise and go to Primary doc to start from the beginning and see what meds I should and should not be on....Lower the cholesterol etc....Then check the Chiari again....I am going to schedule a second opinion with Milorhat next. Hope you all had a good day.....Keep your heads to the SKY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
