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"
umm - no strangers have said anything to me. sometimes i wear braids or buns so they could see. i had a lady bitch at me for using an elevator (there was a sign that said - please use the stairs unless medically needed) i got off -and she gave me an earfull until i turned around and showed her my scar.... telling her i had brain surgery 3wks prior. of course she was horrified.

Looking better! So do you get questions from others when you're out and about?
