Hi Ray, and thankyou. I only moved to spain in June, but so glad I did. I have felt so much better since becoming a member - the support and information is incredible. Just need someone to look at my MRI and tell me what it is. After reading more about chiari and syrinx, I now realise that all my symptoms are related to this. More gardening tomorrow as the weather is glorious. Sorry - forgot you live in uk. lol x
Gosh Lisa you are lucky you are avoiding this beautyful weather we are having here in the British Isles, water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink lol

I will. Just waiting for my medical records from UK before my new Doc can decide where to send me - at least I can let her know about the clinics in Barca. Thanks.
Lisa

Wow, I did not expect such a prompt response. Many thanks for the info - i actually live 2 hours away from Barca, and was there only this week.
I will look at the links. Many thanks once again.
Here r 2 links to chiari and syringomyelia treatment centers and NS's.

There is a chiari institute in Barcelona , Spain.....I will look for the info and post it here.U deff need additional testing to see exactly what ur issues r....if u have a CSF blockage, overcrowding and every dr u go to may give u a diff answer.
Luckily for u there r experts there, but I have no idea how close to Barcelona u r.

Hi and welcome to our Chiari Comunity.....
Many people with Chiari also have Syringomyelia or a Syrinx, You will find Information on both of these conditions here on our health pages. You will find a link to the health pages at the top right of this page here....
Our community leader here is selmaS and she will be able to advise on a NS in Spain, I remember she mentioned some thing in the past about a Chiari center in Spain but I don't remember the info but selma will post it for you...
This is a good place for support and getting practical suggestions for living with CM from day to day :)
