Welcome to Ben’s Friends Sam!
Sounds like you’ve had a tough past week. On the bright side, a coffee prescription sounds great (I’m a huge coffee drinker - more like addict).
Jokes aside, the pain from Chiari is a serious matter - many of the patients in this forum describe how bad it is and I can only begin to imagine. Since you are having a tough time, I would encourage you to please get involved in the community and ask any questions - please do not hesitate. This community is here for you and any support you may need.
You can use this community as a chance to understand how to deal with Chiari, even though it’s tough. Many people have gone through hard experiences, and they may be able to help you.
Once again, welcome to Ben’s Friends Sam!
