Link to Chiari in Fibromyalgia Patients

Don't always judge a book by its cover, open it up, study its contents...

In my research, I have found that Chiari patients are often misdiagnosed in so many ways, one way in particular is having a condition called Fibromyalgia. What is interesting is that in more recent findings, Fibromyalgia patients, in some cases, have varying Chiari malformations causing some or all of their symptoms. Studies are out showing symptoms of patients with Fibromyalgia and found to have Chiari as well improving with the typical surgery to treat Chiari Malformation, known as decompression surgery.

I see this as yet another tool to carry in our toolbox, knowledge is power.
