HI ALL : How are you coping with Covid19 and Chiari?

I am wondering if anyone is in self isolation due to exposure or if anyone with Chiari has a DX of this virus.
If you do have this virus, can you tell us how you are, what symptoms of Chiari are exacerbasted by this virus.

I pray all are well and know they are not alone .

Hi All....I really hope you all are safe and are doing what is being called for .....keeping your distance from everyone......washing your hands correctly with soap and water or sanitizer if not near a sink.....use a mask when out and about ...we do not know if we are infected until we have possibly spread this, so mask....
I know masks are in short supply, and that is why I am making them.....find someone in your area that sews......or look at youtube video's , they are not that hard to make and there are some no sew instructions as well.

Again, please keep safe and use this forum to know you are not alone during this <3

Hi Selma. My husbands coworker’s dad has been hospitalized on a ventilator due to corona. My heart goes out to his family.

My town is on a shelter in place order so I don’t go out much. I’m pretty much a homebody anyway but I’m extra cautious

Does anyone know if we are at a higher risk for this?
Hi KerriC1,
Prayers to your dad's co-workers family.....as for us being a higher risk, I feel it will be an individual issue as to what other comorbit conditions we have and how they affect our  bodys response to illness...some have heart issues along with POTS and  EDS.....so, it may be an individual assetment and not a join Chiari grouping of concern. I haven't heard anything yet........
