I have always helped take care of my little brother who has several rare diseases. On January 31, 2011 I underwent surgery for a Chiari malformation as well. This picture is how I see my world now with Chiari and how it changed my life. I can no longer play sports, there are surgeries, testing, MRIs, I have headaches and numbness. I am the best that I can be but sometimes this is how I feel about my disorder.
