Why are my chiari symptoms getting progressively worse at an alarming rate? i went from being mostly okay to being in excruciating pain 24/7 and barely being able to hold my own head up in a matter of weeks?

The reason you are experiencing a worsening of your Chiari symptoms may be related to a number of things. It is possible that more of your brain tissue is being pushed downward into your spine or you may be accumulating an increase in spinal fluid called hydrocephalus. You should be seen by your neurologist ASAP to access what has changed in your condition.

Not feasible to accurately answer, as do not know variety of Chiari, and cannot rule out other conditions which could cause "excruciating pain". This is by far, best handled by a neurosurgeon or neurologist.
