Guess Who's Back?!?! :-)
I'm Baaacckkk! as much as my phone will let be back lol ...... For all the ones that dont know me: My name is Shannon. I have Chiari (decompressed 5/24/10) EDS, cervical stenosis and bulged discs, DDD and "possible Occult Tethered Cord" ..... and just recently found out my 15 yr old son has Chiari, cervical stenosis, ddd, and EDS as well :( As Selma aslways says "Im glad you found this group but sorry for the reason you are here"!
Selma, I dont have to sit in the corner do I???

I honestly dont know if Chiari causes bulged discs or not ..... mine were all found at the same time so who knows but my stenosis is in the same spot as my bulges
I do know that EDS is causing my ddd and hyper-angulation of vertebrae (forgot to list that one in my dx)
a few other dx I forgot to mention are sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome

Hi Shan, I was reading your list of diagnosis and saw that you had bulged discs. I had a cervical MRI showing 4 bulged discs ( chiari type 1, 8 mm) and my neuro said my bulged discs didn't have anything to do with chiari. Now I myself am an RN and after learning about chiari bulged discs makes sense as something that would be caused from the pressure. Is this from the chiari? Because I am slightly confused. Any help would be great. Thanks!
Selma I figured i had been gone so long i would need a "timr out" lol jk it was just a joke

I welcome anyone to keep me company in the corner lol
It is hard when you dont have a definite dx but with mine its hard to know whats causing what bc the symptoms overlap
