Anyone here of this and is it related to lyme at all? I had an MRI because if headaches I have been having. My dr. told me this is nothing and not to worry about it. Not my LLMD, my regular dr.

this would point to Chiari malformation...did you see your report? did it say how many mm your tonsillar was distending?
it *could* have something to do with your headaches. And there have been several discussions on Chiari malformation on this board...put that into the search engine and you can read them.....
good luck! ff

The report I got says say it is 5 mm. I tried looking in the search engine without much luck. I will try again. Is this something I should tell my LLMD about? My regular dr. does'nt seem to think it's anything to worry about. But then he does'nt believe in chronic Lyme either. What I've read about it, it does'nt sound good.

5mm or more is considered Chiari! Look into it more.
