Hi SickandTired, Here are a couple of videos that may help (or you can consider a consult if it’s not enough, OK?):

My thinking on this (very basically), is that doctors had always considered Chiari to be a birth defect of sorts, right? So why would an infection make her symptomatic suddenly (as happened to me and my son). If we can figure out what that infection did, could we reverse it somehow? Some people DO need Chiari surgeries, but why would the need only appear after an infection? Do you find that curious? Please consider with her doctors, of course, a trial with H1/H2 antagonists (Zyrtec/Zantac is a good combo). Does that help? As far as Diamox goes, I’ve seen doctors make every mistake in the book as to how to prescribe this correctly! This where therapeutic optometrists may know more than others.. More work being revealed soon, but I hope this helps until I reveal it! Big hug…
