Chiari and Doctors

The biggest obstacle I have found with Chiari is doctors and lack of communication. Sometimes I think the best cure for describing this pain to a doctor would be to take an Anvil and drop it on a doctors head. Let them carry that on their head for a week or so then they would understand the constant pain associated with Chiari.

Chiari, The diagnosis

The first time I went to a neuroligist for migraines and was told "I have good news and bad news, good news is you dont have brain cancer but the bad news is your need brain surgery." That was my introduction to the world of Chiari. There are aches and pains that we encounter everyday and will continue to adapt and overcome.
