I'm 35 and I LOVE to laugh and meet new people who have interesting, exciting views on life.I have a rare medical condition called Chiari Malformation 1 which is a neurological disorder that effects the brain. I've had two brain surgeries for this, an explortory, spinal taps and other fun testing as well. This disorder causes the cerebellar tonsills to protude into the forman magnum (which is the opening at the base of the skull where the brain stem is located). Sometimes the bottom of the cerebellum (cerebral tonsils) protude into the cervical spine which was the case for me. I am now a paraplegic due to a constant detiorating process occuring in my spine. These conditions: Tethered cord syndrome, Elhlers Danlos syndrome, Syringomyelia(syrinxes in spine), High intercranial pressure, POTS syndrome, Raynauds Syndrome, Rare seizure disorders in addition to Arnold Chiari Malformation are ALL rather difficult conditions to manage combined, all are Rare Brain and Spine Disorders without A Cure. Though these conditions cause quite a bit of pain, I choose to live each day as best as I can which includes laughing a LOT!!! I used to study the Martial Arts and became a Green belt. I love the ocean, dolphins,sailing, taking pictures,traveling,and have loved fishing when I did it once! I also went on my ex-bosses mortorcycle 100 MPH and loved it! Couldn't do it again though- esp. not now! Wanted to train to compete in Karate and was a "gym rat"- even loved the protein shakes! I LOVE new adventures and look forward to all of the fun that life (and love) can offer!
