Cerebellum atrophy with no known cause

I do have a good neurologist. I’ve been thinking it’s my scalp too. My scalp is squeezing my skull - I actually occ hear little bones snap. I’m scheduled for MRI Tuesday. They make my already sick painful Occipital Nerve on left go nuts with even more pain for yrs. I think he will order another EEG. TU for explaining the brain to me. I can see how my Thalamus could be involved bc I have Central Pain Syndrome (constant pain signals), skin very sensitive to touch, and I’m so very intolerant of cold weather.

Have you been tested for Arnold Chiari Malformation?

@irr4et Thank you for letting me know that my explanation of the brain was helpful to you. When you do see your neurologist I hope you will also ask about the pains and electric-like shocks you feel in your scalp. I suggest you come prepared with a list of questions. The cranial nerves provide sensation (and movement) to your face, mouth, neck, and head so you can ask the neurologist about the cranial nerves too. The cranial nerves travel on different pathways than the thalamus which is deep within the brain, underneath the cerebral cortex.

I hope that the MRI will give you some information that the neurologist can interpret for you. And make some recommendations that will be helpful to you.
