You know you have Chiari when...

...You can't even pass gas without your head feeling like its gonna explode.

...You regularly ask people (that know you well) to please just drill a hole in your head so the pain will go away.

...You forget how to spell words you have known your whole life.

BTW...thanks for the laughs! It feels so good to be reminded that other people know what I am going through

When you keep on yelling at your son to get ready for bed only to find out that you were calling the dog.   Or getting lost in your own home town for hours.

You know you have Chiari when ...

You start to sound like Vizzini from Princess Bride:  "You, get that --thing!  And you!  Get that other -- thing!"  I wonder if Vizzini had Chiari, too?

[carivan]

Have you found relief for those new symptoms?  I'm 19 years out and starting to get symptoms back, too.

That's the truth. But they won't understand, so you smile and lie, most of the time.
