Although when you meet with doctors the first thing you might get asked is whether or not you are having headaches, there are actually a lot more symptoms than that. Headaches are definitely one of the most prominent for some people but others, like me, might not find them to be the most worrisome. Some don't have them at all.

Not sure if last comment posted I forgot to sign in my account. Anyways I was thanking you for site I have POTS and EDS I have heard other patients talk about chiari. Never knew what it really was besides to do with brain. Recently I developed drop foot in June. The local neurologist is afraid to give me official diagnosis he suspects ALS, MS or MD. He never mentioned Chiari. I have majority of symptoms you listed. I can't have MRI with pacemaker. When I see Dr at Mayo soon I am gonna mention this. The one other thing he's worried about that isn't listed is I have extremely brisk reflex. Thanks for blog!
