No worries...so glad it was good news !!!
Praying you have a wonderful Christmas <3
Thank you for the prayers! We got the results from the second section cut out and it was cancer free! So my intuition was right and we caught the melanoma at the earliest possible stage. He will have to have checks every three month to make sure nothing new pops up. But just like with my health issue, we plan to not " borrow from tomorrow , but live for today!" And today is good!
This is not so much a wish as asking for prayers! I have chiari and Crohn's. And along with my own struggles with managing my own health issues around a family and full time job, we have been hit with something even scarier.. My husband had a mole removed, because I'm stubborn and insisted he go, and it came back as melanoma. They are saying we caught it early, but there are no garentees. They took a larger section out today and we have to wait for more results. Please keep us in your prayers! He is my rock and I just can't imagine how I would manage even every day things without him.
We are positive in our faith and we have a wonderful family support. We are both, usually the strong ones in our respective family's we are the ones to help hold others up and give support. It's hard to remain strong in such an unknown situation. Thank you for any prayers you can send our way.
I hope that I make a significant contribution in this life. So many people I see struggle with really difficult challenges. When I have my own difficult times, others' care and support can be the very thing that keeps my head above water. But I feel like I have an advantage with having good parenting in my childhood and a strong faith in God. I really struggle much of the time with what has been required of me here (having a medically and physically disabled son). But I am pretty tough.
So many people struggle without significant support from their families, and I can only imagine the feeling of isolation that comes from that. I want to be significant in helping and encouraging. I hope the people that hurt the most can find a glimmer of hope - and I hope God can use me to that end.
Hi ALL.....my wishes this week are that all that celebrate Thanksgiving is able to be with Family and loved ones and are safe and warm...
Be careful shoveling snow.....those that expect it for the holiday.....
Happy Thanksgiving <3
Hi....I am so sorry to hear that, I will add you to my prayer list to help you get that approved....not sure how or why INS comps decide what we should or should not have done medically...and most INS comps do not have medical personal on staff to help make these decisions....
Hang in there <3
Thanks for this thread! It's a nice outlet!
I wish my insurance would finally approve surgery! I was denied approval for a nerve decompression surgery. My nerves are starved of oxygen and are physically compressed due to a large amount of scar tissue. But my insurance won't approve of it! It's heartbreaking.

Hi all,,..my wish this week is that all in the Great Lakes Snow Belt are safe and warm <3
Nellan,
I will say the same prayer.
Hello everyone my Wednesday wish for this week is for all the little children with Chiari, I have been reading a lot about this and having to hear about about little ones as young as 2 yrs old with CM1 and needing surgery broke my heart...as an adult I know how hard and pianful recovery can be, put I can't imagine a baby not being able to express how they feel!!! I pray for all the babies and the parents and that the Lord will not make themh go thru So much pain..<3
This Wednesday's wish is for my father. He will have his first Thanksgiving and Christmas without my dear mother, and I know it will be especially difficult. I am going to stay with him for a few extra days after the holiday travel. My wish for him is to be able to find some level of peace in knowing that his dear wife of 62 years is still with him - that spiritual presence can soothe the pain of physical absence. I also wish for my sister and I to be able to be extra loving to him.
Hi all my wish this week is that my MIL would be grateful for how this stroke could have been far worse then it was...and be happy to be with us...this is going to be a long journey for her emotionally.....
Oh I agree, once a yr is not enuff.....but we can start there and build.....
Over the yrs I was given prozac and sent to a shrink for individual and group sessions,....back then there were no MRI's to be done as that was when I was in High school....I got my Chiari DX at age 48.....so trust me, I know your frustration ....
More testing is a good thing so you can know ALL related conditions as they can have an effect on how you feel and heal should you require surgery..
I know we all want to be fixed and for it to have been done yesterday, but haste makes waste and rushing to surgery issues can get overlooked,...so take your time to find the right Dr and timing if you do need surgery.....relax and take a deep breathe and remember to exhale : )
I know Selma your rite...I just want to do A little more than once a year...that's all...maybe I am just a little depressed or even hurt because a Neurologist sent me to a neuropsychologist for an evaluation that came back perfect!!! Now I get a all this morning from my NEW neurologist who did an EEG test last week and found that I get seizures on the left side of my brain,, do now more test :( This other NS just thought it was all in my head Same on him!!! Sorry but it make me so angry !!!!!!
The best thing we can do to aid in Chiari Awareness is get involved in the Chiari walks every September....and share what you know with everyone....
HI everyone...My wish for today is for doctors to become more educated on CHIARI and that less and less people have to go thru what most us had to before we got the proper diagnose.. what can we do to make CHIARI Awareness?
I am praying for all of us<3
Hi all....my wish this week is for ALL Chiarians to have less pain today and going forward....all we can do is hope, wish and pray <3
Hi all my wish this week we can come together as a real community and post prayer wishes on Prayer threads and have participation in our daily threads....it helps to come together and chat about some things that are not Chiari related with others in the same boat,,,,,
Hope we can come together in this way <3
Hi all my wish this week is the weather changes and keeps steady one way or another...it's going to be cold.....or hot but this switching back is forth is crazy,,,,,,not just for me but for all of us....
My wish for this week is that my sister, mother, brother, and adoptive father all have wonderful birthdays this week!!! Though I am not able to spend it with them I hope each and everyone enjoy their special day.:-)
My wish this week.,,,,,is I get a new phone....it's over a week with no phone and was told the model I want will be another week....ugh....sigh....I know it may not sound like a huge thing to wish for....but it is difficult to keep in touch with people when you do not have a working phone....
My wish for today is that my brother makes it out of this predicament that he is in. That way he can be home for the holidays!!!
My wishes this week,,,,are small,,,that my DD's Fall Fest Party turns out as nice as her House Warming she had last yr.
