EDS and Chiari

CMNewYork - "This group is to discuss people who have Chiari Malformation and also suffering from Ehlers Danlos and/or Tethered Cord in New York State area. I started this group because I want to raise awareness and funds (all procedes will go directly to The Chiari Institute @ North Shore Hospital) for Chiarians and also hopefully to start a group that could get together once in a while. I find that it hard to speak to someone who doesn't know what all this is about, so finding people I can relate to would be a release. Please offer suggestions as you can. The group is open to anyone suffering from ACM and their family, friends, carers etc ..as well as anyone interested in finding out more about the disorder."

ACM EDS TSC - "This group is to address the special needs and concerns of Chiarians also suffering from Ehlers Danlos and/or Tethered Cord in an environment that encourages open discussion amd understading.

Related disorders can include: syringomyelia (SM); basilar invagination (BI); cranio-spinal instability (CSI); intracranial and intraspinal cysts; tumors of the cerebellum, brain stem and spinal cord; spina bifida (SB); hydrocephalus; pseudotumor cerebri (PTC); Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS); and various connective tissue disorders. And possibly some not yet even discovered!

Chiari Malformation treatment has come a long way in the past 10 years thanks to surgeons and researchers who have dedicated their time to discovering why symptoms can continue to be bothersome, even after an apparently successful decompression surgery. This new understanding has led to a better quality of life for thousands who suffer from Chiari Malformation.

This group exists to offer support and to help you more fully understand the various aspects of Chiari Malformation, its related disorders and the treatment options available. Experts will post on the board often, answering questions and explaining new connections.
We also have two related groups:

CCI Kids at:
