Review for C&S Patient Education Foundation, Wexford, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was diagnosed with Chiari 1 Malformation at the age of 60. I started having all kinds of weird neurological symptoms, along with horrific occipital headaches. I went to a neurologist who sent me for an MRI of the brain and found that I had a 2-3mm herniation. When he reviewed the results with me, he said that I definitely did NOT have chiari malformation as stated on the report, I was not herniated 5mm. I did not go back to him. I have a new neurologist who also feels that I don’t have Chiari…”everything is in your neck”. I don’t have any other choices where I live for neurologists, so I just go to her for my six month appointments now. But I came across Conquer Chiari and found my home! I have done studies and Chiari Academy and have learned so much. They have been my life saver. Especially the ACT therapy study I was in. I was also lucky enough to find a pain management doctor who has helped me with interventional injections rather than medication because I still do have to work. Conquer Chiari has helped thousands of people and will continue to do so and should be recognized for all THEIR accomplishments and dedication! Thank you for listening.
