I can't seem to find the list of Chiari Drs. Can you send me a link? I am not to good with web sites, Still learning how to use all this technology to help me learn more. Thanks so much for your response. My family is very important to me, and being there is a job I want to do. So glad I found this web site. Brenda
Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.
Ur sister is lucky to have a sister willing to advocate for her so on her behalf thank u....not all of us have the support.
She should have her Dr take some blood labs to see if her magnesium levels are low....adding some ( with a Drs advice) may help.
Many of us with Chiari have bowel issues.....a stool softener may be more helpful then the laxative as it helps to not have to strain,.,,,,which can cause more HA's.
Does she have a true Chiari specialist? Finding the right Dr is key and ruling out ALL related conditions as they can affect how she will feel and heal if she should require surgery....and many of the related conditions can cause many of the same symptoms so she will want to know about all of them b4 she considers surgery.
We do have a list of Drs here for her to use as a tool to research Drs as the list is not a referral nor an endorsement. See the Health Pages.
