Hello all,
I am wondering the effect of Chiari on the thyroid. I was diagnosed with Chiari about a month ago and have been putting together the pieces. I am working on the next steps to get surgery. However, during my MRI my thyroid also lit up as a potential issue. With that being said I started reflecting. I use to be a very thin individual, I was symptom free, and pain free. Then I was involved in a car accident and put on over 60 lbs within about a year and a half time frame right after that accident is when I started getting all of these symptoms.. What is the connection between Thyroid and Chiari? If you have had decompression have you experienced a change in your thyroid issues? Good or bad?
