I am hoping to provide a better understanding of what Chiari Malformation is, how it can affect someone and explain my specific journey.
Each Chiarian is different because the condition affects us in different ways. There are approx 85 symptoms in total. Ask any Chiarian what their symptoms are and you will notice a pattern however what affects one person may never affect another.
The beginning of this blog will be more educational than entertaining... The entertaining part will come once I've had my surgery and I'm on the pain meds hahaha
I have lived the beginning of this journey and hope you will join me on the recovery part. I encourage anyone else with Chiari Malformation to follow along and share their experiences as well. The more stories told the greater the unterstanding :-

wow. I had to do a back turn when I saw the topic of your post. Glad to see you are pulling through. Once in a while, we get to make the diagnosis in our pxs but then that occurs rarely. Do you have any neural tube defects or hydrocephalos? Normally, I wouldn't have asked cos of privacy and all but you seem willing to share.

At what age were you when the diagnosis was made and where. When you mentioned surgery, which exactly. again I apologize for the intrusion.
