"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!
Here we are at the beginning of yet another new year. Many of us with CM are, and will be faced with many challenges, struggles and frustrations due to the nature of our illness. As the saying goes, we can let them make us bitter or allow them to make us better! As for me, my New Year's resolution is to focus on the positives in my life. To do whatever it takes to overcome this ongoing battle. To hopefully learn enough along the way to be a source of strength to others.
Wishing you and yours a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
