Conquer Chiari: A Patient's Guide to the Chiari Malformation
Conquer Chiari: A Patient's Guide to the Chiari Malformation | Rick Labuda
3 posts
Facing Chiari can be an overwhelming experience. Most people have never heard of Chiari, so when they or a loved one are diagnosed, they are thrown into a confusing world of tests and medical jargon without knowing what to do or expect. In the midst of this whirlwind, patients are faced with having to make important decisions with profound consequences. Based on hundreds of published medical studies combined with the author's personal experience, A Patient's Guide takes readers through the different stages of dealing with Chiari, and provides the information and tools necessary for people to take charge of their health care and make informed, intelligent decisions.

#purplestackforchiari

This is something I learned about from an Instagram friend.

Have you ever heard of this condition? I hadn't.

She is donating a dollar for every purple stack posted .

Mine turned out pretty if I do say so myself 😍💜

Ruthiella I‘d never heard of it either. Beautiful stack! 💜 3y
mandarchy I have had two students with chiari in the last five years. It's heartbreaking to see young kids in pain. 3y

I only wish I could put an open book in my WW Bitmoji's hand! Thank you all for your good vibes, prayers, and positive thoughts. My surgery on Tuesday went like a dream, and I spent two nights in the ICU stepdown before they discharged me today. I'm so happy to be home and snuggling up with my hubs and my books. 😘

Moray_Reads Hope you make a swift recovery ❤ 7y

I'll be around tonight for a while, but after that it'll be a few days until I'm back. I've spent the summer learning about my diagnosis - called Chiari malformation. Tomorrow I have the surgery to relieve symptoms - hopefully it'll make a big difference. It's a major surgery, but I feel confident and hopeful. My surgeon is awesome and I'll be at a top-notch hospital. And my support system (including you guys) rocks! #seeyaontheflipside
