Do I have chiari malformations?

[courtneybreaud24]

I have been diagnose with a connective tissue disorder and I been having chiari symptoms for awhile now,
Severe Headache and Neck Pain
Dizziness
Vertigo
Ringing in the ears
Difficulty swallowing
Palpitations
Muscle weakness
Impaired fine motor skills
Tinnitus
Chronic fatigue
Painful tingling of the hands and feet
Scoliosis
and tachycardia to name a few, I been to numerous doctors cardiologists, rheumatologist, geneticist, and an orthrepedic surgeon. I been wanting to get the mri, but no doctor has ordered one, I am running out of options the only one that seems to listen is the genecticist and I never heard back from him in a month, oh I do have other diagnosis fibromyalgia, osteoarthritus and vitamin d deficient, being tested for marfans and dysautomia. Any advice would sure help!!!!!!!!!

  Hi...first this is a blurry pic....so it is hard to really say, plus we r not Drs just going by how the Drs explained ours to us....do u have a copy of the MRI on Disk? IF so upload a few pics...u may want to remove some of ur personal info as this is a public forum...ne one that googles ur name will find ur MRI.....

Sorry I wish I could tell u more.
