HELP PLEASE!!! Looking for Dr. recommendations.

Hello beautiful chiarians!

I am hoping that maybe some one may have a dr they would recommend for the Portland OR area or Washington state?   Scheduled for lumbar tap and scan on the 15th and scared tp death and would like a second opinion.


Blessings to all!! I know you all have been to me.

Hi there! Thank you so much. Yes, I have his name and will be contacting him as well as a Dr. in Seattle that is a Chiari Specialist. I have a lumber tap and a Cisterno gram next week on the 15th. Very nervous about it.

Getting so frustrated with the family thinking I am depressed, or that I need to talk to a therapist. Yeah, it's in my head, but not that way. Lol.  Yes, I am getting depressed because I am in bed more than I would like to be.

Thank you so much for responding. It means the world to me.  How are you doing?

  Have u researched the Drs on our list?

http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/list?cid=186

The names on the list represent Drs that the members here have been to and liked, not all may be true Chiari specialists and the list is not an endorsement for ne of them...u have to research them , see a few, compare, and see which is the right one for u.
