    I'm new here!

    Hi, my name is Amanda_42. I'm here because I have just recently been diagnosed with Chiari 1 Malformation/Syringomelia.

    I am trying to learn a little about the conditions without going down a vicious rabbit hole. I have been struggling with focus and concentration for quite some time now and it's really affecting my job! I have not been able to be productive, both at work and at home. I am just curious, for others with these conditions, do you struggle with focus and concentration?

    Thank you so much; I'm really happy to have found this group!
    Much love and support,
    Amanda

    Neurological Manifestations Of Sjogren’s

    Sjogren’s is manifesting neurologically for me. Working along with my Chiari Malformation (hind brain herniation), I struggle with peripheral neuropathy, degenerative disc disease, and Tarlov cysts. If you suspect this is happening to you, the info in this article may help.

    Big, scary medical decisions

    I was told by the neurosurgeon this week that I need spinal surgery for my scoliosis. It’s progressed in the past 6 years and he’s recommended I have T2-L5 done at a hospital 8 hours away from home. I’ve been in pain management for the last 4 years and tried many solutions to living with the curves and daily pain. I’m told it’ll be harder to recover the longer I wait, but I’m scared to move forward. #MarfanSyndrome #Scoliosis #ChronicPain #Migraines #duralectasia #ChiariMalformation
