Okay, so I was diagnosed with CM1 in April 2013 and had my decompression surgery in Sept. 2013. I really like my NS, Dr. Christopher Bogaev in San Antonio. My problem is that he is extremely happy that my Chiari is "fixed" even though many of my symptoms remain. He says he is very sorry that I still don't feel good and maybe I have fibromyalgia because the Chiari shouldn't be causing anymore problems. I am still having the following symptoms: dizziness, headaches on one side of the head or the other, severe neck/back pain all the way down my spine, vertigo when going down stairs and on escalators, extreme fatigue. So, here's my question: should I change dr's and find one that will explore the other issues that many Chiarians have? I don't want to hurt Dr. Bogaev's feelings.....he's a REALLY nice guy with an amazing bedside manner. He really listens to my problems, but I feel like he doesn't think there's anything else wrong with me. I have looked up fibromyalgia.....it just doesn't fit in my opinion......suggestions??
