Event Type

TOGETHER, WE WILL MAKE OUR CONDITION(S) KNOWN!!!

Do you ever feel dismissed by your medical professional(s)? Have you ever spent hours or days writing out your symptoms so that you don’t stumble with your words, only to feel like it’s falling on deaf ears? Is there anything worth salvaging in your relationship with your doctor? At what point should you look for a new doctor? What about your other relationships, do you ever feel like they believe the doctors over you? Do you love someone with Chiari and struggle with letting them know how much they mean to you? Is there a way to heal damaged relationships? What is Palliative Care? Who can qualify? Could it be beneficial to pursue? Are there problems associated with getting referred?
