What to do if i have arnold chiari malformation 1 and now i also have lupus. i am very active , but will that end?

Close follow up!: Arnold Chiari 1 occurs when part of the brain (cerebellum) presses into the opening at the base of the skull. The future depends more on what what your Neuro exams show over time. Symptoms may be mild (such as headache when sneezing) or more significant (imbalance/weakness). In lupus, ~ 70% of people can do very well while on therapy. Close follow up with MD's = best Rx to maintain active life!!
