Where is everyone from

Im a mother of three living in reno nv,and a military wife. My surgery is on may 7th...Where is everyone else from.Is there anyone near me?

Im outside of Fort Worth. I am a single mom of 2 and have not yet scheduled my surgery. Was told too last summer but there is always a reason that I can find not too. Prayers to you for your surgery. Are you doing it there in Reno?

Yes my surgery is here in reno at renowned reginal hospitol. im scared ,keep getting cold feet, but the way i see it if you keep doing the same thing youll keep getting the same result....thank you for your prayers ill take all i can get...

I was stationed at Fallon NV while in the Navy and spent alot of time in Reno!!! I am born and raised in Waterloo Iowa and now live in a small farming community in Iowa

I grew up in Port Angeles, WA. I actually lived in an old farmhouse between Port Angeles, WA and Forks, WA…You know where all the Twilight books are set…It wasn’t nearly as cool as the books made it sound…lol:) My family moved down to Vancouver, WA right after I graduated from High School and I’ve been here ever since. Someday, I hope to move somewhere significantly warmer. I am single, never married (came close once), and no kids…I am obsessed with my adorable nieces and nephew though:) I haven’t had surgery, at least not for Chiari, yet. I’m meeting with an excellent NS on Monday, so that may change soon. If you haven’t already, you should add your surgery date to our events…so, we can all share our thoughts and prayers.

I'm living in Denver, originally from Chicago.

I am a single mom of 1, and we live in Grand Rapids, Michigan! My surgery is on June 20, 2012, very nervous!

hi

i am originally from rhode island

re located to seneca falls ny almost 4 yrs ago

\decompression done in rhode lsland back in aug 08

2 girls /hubby and yes 5 dogs

but they are small dogs ha ha ha

I am from Abingdon, Va, but have lived outside of Richmond, Va for 20 years. If anyone is going to the CM conference I will reserve some rooms.

Wolfcry, for 3 1/2 months before surgery i had a horrendous headache 24/7!

I stil have headaches but not as bad - and I have developed some other "classic" chiari symptoms since my surgery but I would still do it again without a doubt!!! Some say the younger you are the better your outcome is post surgery- I'm not sure if there is documentation for that but I am almost 46 so I'm older than some who have had better results so I think there may be some truth to it.

I was able to return to my job as meatcutter which is a pretty physical job at about 4 moths post-op. I don't have the strength or stamina that I did a year ago but I am working. I also am a Pastor of a church here in New Orleans and I preach and lead worship every sunday- even thought singing etc can cause headaches.

I hope this helps

Well any info helps, i am 34 and have two teen daughters and a 9yr old son and i need to be there for them and i had my children at a young age so i could i think my biggest fear is death or paralization.......but you haveb givin me hope thank you.

From Streetsboro, Ohio- about 30 mins. from Cleveland. My 2 year old son was diagnosed recently and scheduled for surgery May 18th. Will be praying for your upcoming surgery!

I am taking my Mother to the Cleveland Clinic for Breast Cancer. It's supposed to be the best Clinic for Breast Cancer in the US. This is the 5th time hers has returned, so we need the best.
