A few pictures can tell a 1000 words If anyone would look at them

After over two years of seeing all the neurosurgeons and ENT doctors amongst others including opthomogists on Maui for many head neck, back, migraine, jaw, hearing, lung, sinus, heart, passing out,seeing floating white or green spots,dizzy, loss of memory, spacing out, ear ringing constantly, losing 25 lbs of weight and many more related problems, No one has figured this out. I had a MRI and the report did not tell the doctors anything that helps them and they do not look at my MRI films. I developed a lump in my neck that was removed only because I made a print out of the MRI picture to show them.The surgery has made my symptoms worse since I had it done three weeks ago. I am afraid that the MRI films were not read with my problems in mind. I had second opinions on these films with the same results. After the lymph node in my neck was removed three weeks ago the pain in my neck has increased. This led me to looking on Google to match MRI images that looked like mine. I came
across ACM  material for the first time a few days ago and most of the symptoms match. I am also have Hypothyroidism and have been taking  1.37 mcg of Levothyroxine and Lovastation  40 mg since the onset of  my problems. I also take Maxalt but most of the time it does not work for most of my head pains. I was perfectly healthy and weighed 165 lbs before the onset and now I weigh 137 lbs at 6 ft tall,
I enclosed some MRI pictures to see if a full ACM evaluation looks warranted.
Of if you or someone else in the field can take a look at my cd of MRI films to get a professional opinion if I may have a ACM condition ?
Any of your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your understanding and time,  

These are some of my MRI Pictures.

Hi Bob and welcome to the chiari forum.

As this is a support community, and there is no dr present, we can not read ur MRI's.I can however, relate to ur issues and the difficulty in getting a proper dx.

All we can tell u is u need to find a chiari specialist to review ur MRI's and follow their recommendations.

I am not aware of ne chiari drs near u....if u r willing to travel ( most of us must) than u can decide how far u will go to be seen.

I hope u continue to post ur questions and concerns here as well as share ur experiences with us.
