Thanks so much for ur kind msg!!! i am feeling rather down with the lack of support from my GP but i wont give up! stay well x
Well u r doing the right thing in pushing for tests...I had Lupus, lymes, MS and others.....the trouble breathing is not a good thing at all....
Many of us, myself included were dx or told our issues were stress, anxiety etc....but don't let that get u down, u know ur body...keep pushing for more tests and answers.

Hi, Thanks for the msg! i have had NO tests at all as my doctor puts all my symptoms down to "stress",i have asked for a Lupus test! so that's what i am waiting for.Each attack gets worse and the last one i had to go to hospital! as i couldn't breath.
Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.
Many of ur symptoms are similar to chiari and syringomyelia, but they r also similar to many other conditions too!
U need testing to get a dx to know for sure what is going on.
Have u had a brain MRI?...cervical spine MRI?

Four years ago...I had a spell of numerous (mostly neurological) symptoms which just bombarded me...out of nowhere! I am STILL searching for answers...as my Diagnosis of Fibromyalgia just doesn't seem to answer many of my symptoms. I've been tested for MS, Lupus, SjS, Lyme's, Wegener's, etc...ALL to no avail! One thing I have continually requested is a Spinal Tap...which has never happened. I've also requested that my C-Spine be repeated...due to an "artifactual spot" on my C-Spine...hasn't happened yet either! So...I know your frustration very well! Hang in there...althought it's tough! You are NOT the only one in "limboland!" There are numerous of us who are! I continue to here reports from others who, after many years, FINALLY get their diagnosis! We will too...SOMEDAY! {{HUGS}} ;)
