    I can't post the link on here without it being authed by a moderator... I just tried! However... If you head over to the website for The Ann Conroy Trust... You will be able to find a list of Chiari Specialists and those that will take referrals as well as those in your area.

    So sorry about your daughter.. It's hard enough to deal with as an adult let alone when you get.

    Hope this helps... Good luck x
