Anyone have more than one family member w/ CM? My son (3 yrs old at time) was diagnosed Jan. 4th, 2012 & now we are screening our girls(6 & 5 yrs old) w/ one MRI set for March 22 & the other waiting a Nuero apt. next week.
Wow! Thanks for sharing.
My daughter who is 28 and I both have it I believe my brother has it he has been suffering but to stubborn to get it checked out I have watched him boy he is sick
I have it and my daughter that is 12 had it. I think my mom has it but she can not get a MRI done due to when they did her heart surgery. They lost the paperwork so they do not know what kind of stents she has. I know a lady that has four kids and all for kids have it.

Hey luv your boxer I have a white they help us deal make us get up and face another day
Thank you for your reply. I am learning so much about this. That poor woman. …….all 4 children have it. Nuero did say that it can run in families hence screening our girls w/ symptoms is important. I am adopted & have searched for years & years for health info on birth parents but the state does not have any record of my adoption putting my search on halt. I am sure it does not come from my hubby’s side but ya never know. Anyways I am thankful for your reply.Susan said:

I have 1 cat named milk 1 boxer powder 1 min pin 6 beagles 2 freeing coonhounds 2 retired foxhounds 11 chickens and 7 pullets which are baby hens and last but not least 10 guinea fowl BFore cchiari got so bad I was a full time senior tech at a great vet working with animals 20 + years now i hope to make it to work a few hours a week but I must get up put my feet forward and now take care of them
Both my sister and I have it. She was the 53rd person to have the surgery done at Hopkins in 1999. They took out too much bone and she had to go back 2 years later for them to try to fit it. I just had surgery this past August. Thankfully, our other sister does not have it. And from talking to my grandmother, one of my cousins has it too!
i dont thnk anyone in my family has it but i want to get my 6 yr old chkd out..if we find it early theres probably something that can be done to avoid the adolecent and adulthood pains of chiari...altho they say it isnt hereditary. im seein mre and mre familial cases...think a brain n spine MRI shud b routine for physicals
