Chiari as a Crime Preventative Technique

Ok, so my Mom always taught us to find humor in life. It helps....

So my wife just had this random thought. She figures at least CM is good
for something. It would keep me from ever robbing a bank as the stress
of the situation would probably cause me to pass out or get dizzy and
then I'd get caught.

Have no idea where her mind was to come up with that but thought
maybe you'd get a laugh as we did. Hummmm..... Maybe we could get
a patient on this thing????

Your mom sounds pretty cool.  Yes, you got to have humor in life and with this cause it makes it worth while.  I know it has stopped me on a few things and ones it didn't I paid for later.  Them are the ones you have someone to help you with.  Never feel like your alone cause you are not.  We are here if need a shoulder or a ear to listen.

I concur completely. Frankly, I've always been a person that deals with whatever life throws with a 'no problem, we'll make it work' attitude.

With some will-power and a straight up belief that with God and faith all will work out... well it just does work out. But with Chiari comes the lack of a clear mind way too many times. Without that clear mind it's very difficult to face even mild issues in life. That's where this list comes in- Many, Many times over the last couple years I've come here not saying a word just to scan through old posts to remind myself that we're not weird, we're not alone and this really is very real.

Yes, thanks for the internet and this list that MedHelp provides.

But isn't it great that internet exists at least? Imagine the loneliness without it, now we can at least meet on line..

Nah, I have plenty of my own issues as do we all :-) gotta love a little humor at the right moment.

If only it was easier for Chiarians to travel.... Can only imagine what humor a roomful of people who have been through the medical 'hamster wheel' of life could come up with! But then they would have to overload 911 with calls due to much laughter causing Chiari outbursts.

Yeah, well I figure if we need CM to stop me from robbing a bank then perhaps I have much bigger issues.
