Lets all give a warm welcome to Angela from Pennsylvania!
It can definately be scary being diagnosed with Chiari out of the blue, but it also puts all the synptoms that you may have been having into perspective. There is a kind of peace that comes with a diagnosis in that you finally know what has been going on.
From your bio, it seems that you have already undergone decompression, like many of the patients on this forum. If you have any questions or want to get involved in the discussion, please do not hesitate to post! this community is here for you.
Once again, welcome to Ben’s Friends, Angie!
