    Dear Anthony,

    Have you seen a doctor yet, gathering from my experience, the first state of my chiari was like you..I went to my gp and she thought that I have Vertigo..because after taking Betahistine (SerC 16) I was OK, but as the tie went on..that symptom getting worse, twitching on the eye lid, horrendous headache, its effected my balance..slowly-slowly I could not swallow, keep fainted when having a sneeze, cough or a sharp moved..in the end..its debilitating me andended up blackout for several minutes, by the time they scan/mRi they realised it was Chiari malformation, they offered me surgery..but I was too scared..kept taking medicine ..but none of them helped, in the end I took the advice..and now after 14 months decompression, I have my life back..so..my suggestion to you is..write it down how you feel, get your doctor to refer you to Neurologist, ask for Mri /scan..tell them its effecting your Quality of Life..you feel like you are disable..if they fiind out its Chiari..PLEASE DO SURGERY As Soon As Possible (that is my opinion) in the meantime..take it eASY..BUT KEEP MOVING GENTLY..IF YOU CAN ..take any multi vitamin which content high dose of Magnesium and Selenium...GOOD LUCK..but please dort yourself out..dont leave it too late..you don't want to damage your nerve....

      Great, I hope that help you, I do not want to scare you..but if only I have got some one at that time advice me I would have done surgery straight though..instead of damaging myself and also suffered so much..it is not worth it..Chiari if a defect...so no medicine can help..just like some fracture their hips or joint they need surgery..tablets won't do....Well good luck to you..keep us informed..
