I knew there would be glpers aware of this rarity!

I have type 1 and I think it's less severe than the kind that is present from birth.

As for the surgery, I was told I would spend two days in icu and another few days in the hospital, then up to three months off work. And that's if it works. If not, I'll be permanently disabled.

This is scary.

That sounds extreme. There are neurosurgeons who have more experience with it than that. My friend had to go to Boston, and the biggest concern they had was the possibility of a "revision" surgery, nothing like you are describing. She had Chiari I Malformation.

Yeah? Maybe I can find a good neurosurgeon who can help me avoid the major issues. I think the thing about chiari is that it's different for everyone who has it. Some have no problem and others have major problems with it.

I only just found out about it - hopefully it will turn out ok like your friend's daughter ..
