MY STORY
On September 29, 2017, I went off for school like any other day. When my mom picked me up from school that night after a trip to the beach, I had a horrible headache, was nauseous, and was so dizzy I could barely walk.  Two days later I heard the words Chiari 1 Malformation for the first time.

We spent four months treating my symptoms, but by February the dizzy spells continued and the “Chiari” headaches were 24/7. No medication helps these headaches but simple things like coughing, sneezing, and bending make them worse. I was ready to try anything...including brain surgery. On March 14, 2018, I had posterior fossa decompression with duraplasty and C1 laminectomy. The surgery was a success. All my symptoms were gone.

Six weeks later, my diagnosis changed to Chiari 1 malformation with hydrocephalus. Another surgery was performed to place a shunt. Since then I have had three more surgeries for the shunt. During the last surgery the decision was made to remove the shunt entirely.

Then a couple months later I started getting all my symptoms back. So in March of 2019 I flew out to have another Chiari decompression surgery with a Chiari specialist which was Dr. Orò.
