Im in with Chiari Institute

Hi all! Well I heard back from The Chiari Institute and after a very long painful weekend in bed they said they want to see me! I can’t even explain the relief I feel right now.
After going from specialist after specialist. The denial that I’ve had inside that anything could be wrong since I’ve already had a surgery for Chiari coming up on 10 years now.
This discussion group has been a GODSEND as it has helped me to find our a wealth of information and now I am led to the proper doctors for condition.
It sometimes doesn’t just end with a surgery I’m finding out bit I’m so happy that I am on my way to the next step to a BETTER ME!!!
woo hoo! I have no idea what I’m in for when I go there… But I’m so ready to stop the pain!
Thank you all and I wish you a pain free day!!!
Xoxo

Hi Lori

I go on September 21st. First day available that I can see Neurologist Dr. Kula (sp?)
and Neurosurgeon Dr. Rekate.
A whole 2 hours with neurologist and 1 hour w NS. I can’t imagine what it will be like to spend that amount of time with anyone that knows what we are all experiencing.
I had a slight moment of panic that I will get there and they will have no answers for me after so
Many years of this - but I can’t believe they would have me go all the way to NY without good reason after reviewing my MRIs. Just habit.
Whew!! Can’t wait!!!
Sandy
