Billy Sticker was diagnosed with Chiari I malformation, a congenital condition that became symptomatic after a car accident nine to ten months ago. He'll document his journey through videos and blog posts, including MRI images and what he learned from three neurosurgeons.
Hey guys. Billy Sticker here. And I just wanted to shoot this quick video to make an announcement. I was recently diagnosed with having a Chiari 1 malformation, which is something that apparently is congenital. But I was in an auto accident back nine or 10 months ago and apparently from the accident now I'm having some issues and stuff with it, but I wasn't familiar with what it was. If you're watching this video, chances are you searched and that's how you found it. Other than that, it's just people who know me. But what I wanted to do is start doing some videos to kind of share my story, my process, you know, from being diagnosed, the treatment I decided to take and just do some education. I'm not a doctor. I didn't go to medical school. Do not look at any of these videos. Anything I put on the website as being anything other than general information from a very, you know, layperson, not from a medical professional. But I found some really neat information about it. And I've spoke with neurologist then referred a neurosurgeon. I've met with three of them. One of them was a bit scary. It was obvious he does a. And do a lot of the procedures. And then two other ones in Houston. I met with actually this past week that, that I was a lot more comfortable with. But just stay tuned. Subscribe to my YouTube channel. If you're watching this and you know, you're just hearing about me and, and this Kyari one malformation for the first time, there should be a link below. You can sign up and actually get information whenever I post these updates and stuff on my blog. But I want to be putting, you know, pictures, MRI results, you know, explaining exactly what this is. If you've just recently been diagnosed with one and you want to know what some of the symptoms are. I'll put some of my research on there. Thanks.
