so many symptoms and very crazy symptoms as my NS told me. He said that if he didn't see my MRI he wouldn't have believed me but since he has seen it he believes me just because he knows that CM has many symptoms that DO cylce.

Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.

As Shannon as mentioned, have u had the tests and did u get the dx of chairi, syringomyelia, tethered cord, EDS, PTC....??

Once u have a dx u need to find a dr that specializes in these related conditions.....even DDD and spinal stinosis can affect  u like chiari can.

If u don't mind sharing a bit more of ur info we may have a better idea of where u r in ur journey.

Hi and welcome to the forum! The only test that will show chiari is a MRI and a CINE MRI will show if there is a blockage of csf (cerebro spinal fluid). What symptoms are you having?
