I came across this great thread on another forum, and it provided a great deal of comical relief! So I was wondering if you all would like to answer this too. You know you have Chiari when...
You once attempted to do the yoga "swan pose" and your husband insisted it looked more like a flock of seagulls lol.

Or drive around lost for 30 minutes, a mile from your house…
Your friends expect you not to remember anything so THEY write everything down.
Funny, I’ve been lurking here for a few weeks but couldn’t resist this one.
You make a to do list so you’ll remember what you want to accomplish and then forget to look at the list. : )
You make a grocery shopping list so you don’t forget anything. When you get to the store you realize you forgot the list at home. You also forgot what was on the list. (Sadly a weekly occurance for me!lol!!!)
Okay, this one is not so funny but someone can surely relate…
you wake up with your eyes swollen almost completely shut and realize that sometime during the night you acquired one of THOSE headaches…
When a 60 watt bulb is “just too bright, man”!
P.S. do they make dimmer dials for fridge lights? ; ) j.k.
You could just wear your sunglasses inside =). I have done this many times lol

That's a profession we all could be successful at! This storm coming in is brutal on the head...

You know when a storm is coming prior to hearing about it from the weather person...
suddenly having your loud, crystal clear "here kitty, kitty!" voice turn to a crackly, silent, laryngitis sounding mess! (but on the flip side, having your normal voice return after surgery!!)
Starting a story and just losing it right in the middle…I told my best friend that hopefully after I’m healed from surgery she will never have to hear me say I’ve lost my train of thought again. lol
I totally relate to the lights too. The light above my desk burned out a year ago and the maintenance man begs me weekly to change it but I refuse. My daughter calls me a vampire because she says I never turn the lights on!

you can watch the same movies or read the same books and it's like you're watching/reading it for the first time.
that is so me all the time, I cant even use a paper calander because I cant remember to ever look at it. It drives me crazy..

You search sites such as this endlessly for hours, praying someone has symptoms just like you do! So you know your not alone!
Or to just find answers!
