In the fall of 2008 I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation -Type 1. I learned to accept & live with my symptoms and was trying to put off the surgery as long as possible. In the fall of 2010 I developed Syringomyelia and was told I should have surgery asap. I had a successful decompression surgery by Dr. Oro on 11.16.10 and with as good as I feel, I would like to consider me "cured"

less then 2 weeks. . .
Alright - I am coming up on 12 days until surgery. I have to say I am proud of myself. So far I am rockin' the list of TO DOs. The hardest so far has been the Advil. I live on that stuff. i don't know if the anti-inflamatory part of it has anything to do with why it works so much better for me - but it does. Fruits and Veggies, check. Water, check. Metamucil (giggle), check. Sleep, doing better. but, NO - i am not giving up my daily (grande) starbucks 8pumpsoychai.

you better start tapering off of that stuff. I know you body is held together by chai, but it needs to be done.
