may not just have chiari malformation, have to have more test cause things are looking towards possiblity of ms.
Sorry to hear this. Have you had a spinal tap? I thought that would say yes or no to MS. It was last July when I had a spinal to help figure out what was going on.
Hang in there!

People around me had me nervous about having one but wasn't near as bad as I had expected. My NL did suggest lots of caffeine afterwards to help ward off a spinal headache. I had mine done at the hospital and had to lay down for 6 hours afterwards before they let me go home.
It was well worth doing because they were able to rule so many bad things out.
Good Luck!

Stay encouraged.
