Below is a link to a newspaper article about a fellow Chiarian that shared her story with the producers at House/Fox network to help make the House Chiari episode possible. I have never met Laura Slyman the woman in the story but I feel like I do know her. I know her struggle with living with Chiari malformation. When meeting a fellow Chiarian our stories are always very similar and we always become instant friends, become somewhat of a second family. A family that truly understands when for years no one else has. I know the Chiarians that read my blog will be watching Fox tonight at 8/7c and encouraging every non-chiarian they know to do they same. I ask all of you non-chiarians to do just that, if you can't watch tonight, DVR the show or find it later on-line. Chiari is so misunderstood and receives so little awareness this is so very important to me and all of us in the Chiari community. I hope some of you watch and get a bit of understanding of what we Chiarians are living with, maybe even after watching will want to spread some awareness yourselves.
