Neuroscience to Neuro-patient: Melissa #39;s Chiari Pseudotumor Story
Just over a year ago my life came to a screeching halt because I woke up with a headache. I had been (self) diagnosed with Chiari Malformation in 2008 and had successful decompression surgery in 2009. Two years later I was diagnosed with Pseudotumor Cerebri. I went from being an Honor #39;s student at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, majoring in neuroscience and biotechnology (with a minor in chemistry) to be a disabled, frustrated neuro-patient with more doctors than I could manage. These conditions SUCK! And the hurt! And no one knows about them!!! My life now revolves around caring for my kiddos, helping fellow chiarians, and trying to tell the world about these horrid conditions. Of course I still do as much amature, non-laboratory based research in hopes of finding a way to return to my normal abnormal life. 🙂 A cure is there, we just have to find it.From:JohnnysAngel00Views:4 2ratingsTime:05:42More inScience Technology
