Is surgery the only option for relief? Are there operations where they just remove the pannus from the odontoid? The pressure in my neck is killing me. I can hear trapped csf as it gets released sometimes. The doctors think I am crazy. I am obese. But when this all started I was perfectly thin and super active. I have been asking doctors,chiropractors, massage therapist, acupuncurist, etc. to help me for 15 years. Nothing they have suggested has ever helped. Some of it has progressed my symptoms. They all think I have Fibromyalgia. Thank you for your time and your opinion.
I have suspected I have basilar impression and chiari.

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
