wonderfull world of chiari

[sandy629]

i found out today i lost my law suit. mainly because the surgeon wouldn't write a letter saying the fall brought on the symptoms of chiari. he said it on post op and pre op but wouldn't write a letter.   i didn't sign up for this and if things couldn't get any worse,  i feel chiari won !!  ive been fighting it for 4 yrs and in every manor and i feel it just won. it's not just the law suit it's everything. how does something just take over your world. i am a 3 time cancer survivor, ifought with everything but this is just not a battle anyone can win. in any way .  i feel like a total loss, worthless .   the chiari won, it;s a battle i have lost

   Chiari or nething, be it cancer or an ex can win only if u let them...yes, it will change u, but it can not win unless u allow it.

Chiari is life altering....and once u accept that, and u decide what u r going to do going forward, then u win : )

  your lucky Viva the doc's here in mass won't.it's not so much the lawsuit, it's everything it has done to my life. the most important thing is my grandaughters ,  i gave up working when i relized i was putting my patients in danger, do i give up coz i'm putting my grandaughters in danger (forgetting her in the mall ) my time is monitored with her now, instead of 2 1/2 days a month i get 4 hrs with her. i have one bit of hope commin, dr katz is sending me for nuerological testing in october. thank you for caring

I'm so sorry.  I had a fall also, on steps that were not shoveled--in Central NY!.-- which triggered the Chiari symptoms.  My NS testified  on my behalf--he traveled from NC--didn't matter, my employer keeps lawyers on retainer just to fight workers comp cases such as mine.  Chiari didn't win.  The powers that be won, the status quo, cowardice won.

Sometimes you just have to let things go, for your sanity.  Even though *I* could've been sued if the UPS person slipped on snow on my steps.
