when you decide to do something even though you know you will be paying for it for the next week!
when you're afraid to go out with friends and have a good time because all the laughter will make you feel worse instead of better..sigh
when you are laughing so hard you're crying then two seconds later the tears are due to the severe stabbing pain in your head from laughing.

You know you have Chiari when your head hurts so much that you cut it yourself--and don't mind the consequences.
