You guys are correct! We did see a neurologist, but my brain had moved to bones-ortho. . . Sometimes I just don't use my brain (also a neuro thing!).
Thank you for the advice on how to find threads about AAI here. I was finally able to read a couple. We are just concerned about the possibility of facing another life-threatening issue after spending thousands on this one.
We are lucky that she is neurologically intact-no paralysis or other issues. If you saw her with me on the couch or walking in the bathroom each morning you would have no clue there would be no hint of a problem. We want to make her well if it is possible.
Tomorrow I will get some answers about how serious the neurologist is about the possibility of Chiari or hydrocephalus. Are these just other possible diagnoses with similar symptoms, or is there a serious comorbidity factor? I don't know if I wish I understood more or am happy with my ignorance.
I will also read the suggested links/threads. This seemed somewhat clear cut until I received the written report, and then several more issues appeared. Wishing for easy decisions again.
