Gushing Spinal Fluid & OCD

I was talking to my friend Bianka today and explaining that sometimes I can hear - what I imagine to be - my spinal fluid squeezing through my neck. It sounds like the noise water makes when running through a hose with great force. She said EW!

I was writing out an itinerary for my upcoming trip to Denver (2 weeks to go!) and mentioned that I was being VERY OCD about the whole thing.

Bianka says:
You're allowed to be OCD when you hear spinal fluid gushing around.

I found this really funny...Apparently this grosses many people out...it just seems normal to me. :)

Two more weeks and I'll get to experience a whole new normal!

This is just my story of my experience with Chiari. Until I was diagnosed, I'd never heard of it, and I just want more people to be aware of it. I'm not a doctor, so don't quote me on any of this stuff - k? If you are looking for information about Chiari Malformation, a lot of the more informative posts are the older ones.
