"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!
They say New York is the city that never sleeps...well, sounds like we'll get along just fine! In four short days we'll be headed to the Big Apple! The long awaited trip to The Chiari Institute has finally arrived! We've had a few hurdles to cross to say the least (thanks to my wonderful insurance co) but things are finally coming together!
I would like to thank each and every one of you for your prayers and support and your kind words of encouragement! I'll likely not be able to post for several days but will be back with a full report just as soon as I can!
Take care and God bless!
