In chapter 2, book discusses the basics of the central nervous system in an easy language before moving on to Chiari & Syringomyelia.
Although this book is written for Chiari patients, it will be very useful for patients who have had posterior fossa craniotomy for Arachnoid cyst fenestration, tumor excision etc.
#CONQUER CHIARI SYMPTOMS HOW TO#
It describes everything from getting correct diagonsis with a competent Neurosurgeon(NS), deciding whether to go for surgery or not, preparation for surgery & post-operative recovery, things to do & not to do during the patient dependent recovery period, how to measure whether the surgery was useful or not & what to do next. This book is the bible for chiari patients. Yet that is what makes me stronger! Now I always say well I cant do that but guess what I can find something else I can do! love life and be strong. Limitations is my biggest problem with the disorder because we all want to live life to the fullest but physically I cant always do the things I dream of. As most chiarians will say even family members cant see through our strong exterior however inside our bodies dont do what we want and half the time we feel like we arent in control of our own bodies. I read it when I feel down and when I need some uplifting. I found myself crying through reading the book because I never knew that someone could understand Chiarians and syringomyelia struggles. Labuda explains what he means by conquering chiari. Its hard to feel like you have conquered chiari because its not curable and a decompression surgery most of the time is not a fix-it procedure. I was on the verge of being paralyzed on my right side. After having an MRI done I was told to have immediate surgery the next day Severe Chiari. I suffered for many yrs before I was diagnosed. I was diagnosed with chiari and syringomyelia in 10th grade at the age of 15. The best thing about the book and author is that Labuda has chiari himself so he understands personally what we go through on a daily basis.
He explains things in such great detail and to my surprise the book is pretty thick with a lot of information. To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.
