Hi everyone i am new to this site and am going in for surgery in June. I have had a very hard 14 yrs of illness with numerous doctors, meds, treatments and even Chiari institute. I found a wonderful doctor here in Rhode Island Dr. Petra Klinge she is wonderful and is very educated about Chiari and has done many surgeries on adults and children but still I have a rollercoaster of emotions. I am so scared about surgery but I need to do it I cannot suffer anymore and am tired of the seizures. Any support or suggestions would be great thank you
