I am a 51 yr old mother of 4, and expecting my 4th granddaughter in May. Lss, I have had 4 neck surgeries, 1 FAILED back surgery. I went to a new neurologist, my old one went back home to his homeland, I have been having headaches, blurry vision, and dizziness on top of all my issues with a non working thyroid, adrenals, pituitary gland, in my results of my brain mri it says I have a flattened pituitary gland half full of fluid in the sella? And a 4-5 mild tonsillar herniation Chiari Malformation type 1. Now I’m disabled in the past 6 years, I have got so bad in this passed yr I’m not gonna lie I truly just wanna stop this fight. But I can’t. My heart won’t let me. Anyway how do I have a whole box of mri, CT’s , and X-rays in a box over the last 12 yrs since my first neck surgery? How do I now at 51 have chiari? I truly don’t believe it, but while I’m writing with a head pounding, eyes blurred, a noise in my ears that is going to drive me batty, pain that gets worse everyday, choking on everything I eat, sounding like a man, but I did have a paralyzed vocal cord so I have an implant in it. So i have no idea where to begin, but I do not know if it will be with the neurosurgeon that has operated on me 2 times, that I have asked 2 times if I had this chiari? He said no. So I then read it can come along in life? I thought you are born with it? Help I’m so confused. And I’m very leary of having to possibly start a hunt for another new dr. Especially around here. I don’t do bridges. I’m so scared that this is true, but hoping it’s wrong..... help?
