Although I was diagnosed a long time ago, I was never given any information about my condition. I've had no idea what to expect. I had decompression done in my early 20's, and a shunt put in. In 2013 I had to have my spine fused from T4 down. My syrnix has traveleddown the length of my spine. I walked into surgery, but it took over 3 months to be able to walk again, and that is with the help of a walker. I'm considered partially paralyzed. I don't have the use of my right hand as well. Now my question, will I end up in a wheel chair permenately? Does this disordered effect our major organs? Is it anything like MD or MS? ( both I've been tested for, and it wasn't that). I feel lost and a bit alone. I live in St.George.
Any help I'd be greatful for.
