Support groups

[ladaf]

Are there any support groups that meet for Chiari survivors, sufferers in Knoxville, TN.  My daughter had decompression surgery a year and a half ago.  Since then she has been suffering from headaches and mind seizures as well as fear, depression and anxiety.  She has had to quit her job and we are probably going to have to file for disability for her.  I think a support group would help her feel not so all alone.

  Hi ladaf and welcome to the Chiari forum.

I am not aware of a group in your area that meet, but she may want to post here....as I know it helped me feel less alone and also helped me get the info I needed to choose the best course of treatment and understanding ALL related conditions.

Has your daughter been DX'd with any related condition to Chiari?
