Chiari Lifeline: "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!"

"Welcome To Chiari Lifeline."

Chiari Malformation is a serious neurological disorder where the cerebellum, the bottom part of the brain, descends out of the skull and crowds the spinal cord, putting pressure on both the brain and spine. There are over 100 reported symptoms that are caused from CM. Those most common include; severe headaches, fatigue, general imbalance, memory problems, visual disturbances, dizziness, just to name a few.

CM affects about 1 in 1,000 people and this number continues to grow. Still many are left suffering and go years without a proper diagnosis as many doctors are yet unfamiliar with this condition.

If you or a loved one is affected by Chiari please visit the links provided below. Together, we can make a difference!

"It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!"

Thanksgiving is over and that can only mean one thing...CHRISTMAS IS HERE! I must admit, I am a die hard Christmas fanatic, but it's all good. I know I'm not alone on this one!

Many of you on the message boards have asked where you can purchase Chiari Gifts. I too was interested but never really found much online so I created a shop myself. I will be donating a portion of the proceeds to Wishes and Rainbows. They are a non-profit organization that assists those with CM and other related disorders in meeting the medical costs, traveling expenses and personal financial assistance to those who qualify. Getting proper medical care to treat Chiari and Syringomyelia can be extremely costly for some...financially devastating for others. The folks at Wishes and Rainbows are dedicated to helping those in need of this care, who otherwise might go left untreated.

As you purchase your holiday gifts this year, take a moment to browse our shop at the link provided below. You just might be giving someone the best gift of all...a chance.
