Question:
any idea what surgery he is referring to? He's not actually advocating

He has pointed out, it is not really brain surgery. It is a surgery to correct a malformation at the base of the

The prospect of a CURE from FMS with a Chiari surgery has been
presented within this website several times before. It is not new

chronic fatigue syndrome/FMS after a traumatic event, it isn't unreasonable, IMHO, for the
Chiari configuration to be considered. As either an acute or congenital
presentation.
But people will continue to be dropped through the cracks. FMS is a
brain-driven set of symptoms. So is chronic fatigue syndrome. And both of them are getting
