Symptoms

Chiari has a wide ranging, diverse set of symptoms and affects everyone differently. Research shows that 95% of patients experience at least 5 symptoms. (see Symptoms Below)
Of these symptoms I have the severe headaches, the pain in the neck and shoulders, loss of motor control, weakness, stiffness and pain in arms and legs, balance issues and numbness in my hands and feet.

    What causes this? Are you born with it or does it develop in time?
