HI I must agree with the above posters.....I also want to say u may want ur dx of fibro re-examined.I was told I had fibro and now I am dx with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome....it feels very much like fibro.....but is very different.
U deff want to know if u have this, so do get it ruled out.

I, too, would suggest finding a Chiari specialist straight away!!! They will be able to answer your questions in the best manner. It is definitely possible for your Chiari to worsen. I lived virtually asymptomatically for years (with the exception of the occasional ACM headache) until I fell. My chiari went from 8mm to 15mm and I had a sudden barrage of symptoms within a matter of weeks from my fall. I had my decompression surgery this past January.
Thanks for your input. I also have fybromyalgia so it is also hard to tell when I am having a flare up of fybromyalgia or Chiari symptoms.
Read the top of the forum thread about welcoming you. It can answer a lot of your questions.
But yes, it will most likely get worse. At 3mm a lot of Dr don't consider it Chiari, at 5mm they usually make the diagnoses.
I've had the decompression surgery, but not the injesctions. The best bi of advice I can give is; Get a Chiari Specialist.
