- When Maggie's many doctor visits didn't improve her horrible headaches, she turned to the internet to find out what to do. As a biology professor, she understood what she was reading and quickly came to the conclusion she suffered from Chiari malformation.
She read about MHSI's Holly Gilmer, M.D. on blogs and even on Facebook from others who had the same issues, which led her to make an appointment. Dr. Holly Gilmer found that Maggie had Chiari One Malformation and performed a sub occipital craniectomy. Months after the surgery, Maggie wants to share her story so others don't have to suffer like she did.

Hello! A year after surgery I decided to make a dream a reality and become a firefighter (first female on the department). And I have also completed 2 more college degrees and will finish another this December. There are days that the weather bothers me, but NOTHING like it did before surgery.
Hello glad to learn that your surgery went well.
Thank you for sharing your story. I was diagnosed 4 years ago and did not see my first specialist until 2 years ago. I still have not had surgery and I am getting worse. I am scared to get the surgery. I am now told I am blocked in 3 areas on my ventricles. When I see stories like yours, it makes me feel like I should go ahead with surgery although I have seen SO many bad surgery stories.
I was a freshman in high school when I got my surgery and I’m now 23
