Welcome Jessica!

@Jessbed4d

Lets all welcome Jessica Bedford (nice play on the username) from New York!

So you have just been diagnosed with Chiari. I understand that you are scared - it seems like you have just entered a world that you don’t understand. Take solace in the fact that you finally understand your symptoms and are about to get on the road to recovery. Everyone in this community has been in the place you are at right now, and they are all working together to get through it.

I want you to get involved in this community and ask questions if you want to - the diagnosis is over, and now you can grow to understand your condition. If you have questions about treatments or just want to hear anecdotes, this community is the perfect place for you.

Once again, welcome to Ben’s Friends Jessica.

Thank you so much. I am 100% scared. I have my first appoment on the 20th. I have no idea what to ask or even what to expect. So thank you for making me not feel so alone.
