I was diagnosed almost 3 wks ago with Chiari 1 Malformation.My neurologist had get 7 viles of blood drawn,an MRI of the brain and I had to wear 32 electrodes on my head for 72 hrs. After several wks of waiting she calls me into her office and says that she was so sure that I had MS with severe seizures. Then she shows me my MRI results and tells me that I have Chiari and that she was sending me to a Physical Therapist. I asked her if she thought that this condition was causing my symptoms of falling over alot,getting dizzy,seeing flashes of light,bowel and bladder urgency;to name a few.She then responds"No,those things are brought by stress". So,I return home thinking that I am okay and that this is no big deal.The next day I woke up unable to use my legs.I now I have an appt. this week to see a Neurosugeon. I hope that I can get some answers. Post edited by: EveBearrow, at: 08/02/2011 10:00 AM |
"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)
