So I got the referral to the NS, waiting for a call with the appt. When I called the office yesterday to see how long of a wait it may be they said it could be a couple of weeks or into December if I was referred to a specific Dr which I was. Dr Farook Kidwai, is who I was referred to and the lady I spoke with said that he is booked into Dec. I also received a copy of the MRI and reports, read those and my lateral and third ventricle are at the normal limits for my age, don't know what the means or what that entails. The foramen magnum is crowded and no signs of syrinx. The headaches aren't getting worse they just aren't going away no matter how much ibuprofen I take, it's just like it is a pressure headache not throbbing or pounding just dull. The ringing that has been going on in my ears for years that it attributed to hearing loss from the military and not wearing ear protection at ranges forever has been constant the last couple of months but now that I know it is a typical thing for Chiari, I guess it will subside when the decompression is done. On that note the referral does say recommend decompression suregery, hopefully we will have a date soon with the doctor and get some more answer.
