We do have Dr Stoodley on our list but not Dr Ellison Stephenson....can you give more info as to where he is?
Good luck and let us know who you end up seeing and how it all goes.
Many Drs, even Chiari specialists will not categorize all the symptoms under Chiari....but they are related...Chiari generally comes with related conditions and that can account for mostly all the symptoms we have,
I see you are in Australia....do you have names of Drs there? We do have a list, but it is very small
Hi Spirit....yes all you mentioned can be attributed and or related to having Chiari as well.....Many with Chiari have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome..EDS causes many joint issues and since the joints are affected it can affect alignment, muscles get tight,, so all over muscle pain, and sooooooo many have DDD, bulging disks, and the other disk/spine issues you listed.
Just for example I had loss of cervical lordosis, bulging disks, DDD, But I also have EDS......
By enlarged do you mean your tonsils are herniated?....
What other symptoms do you have ?
