I have been diagnosed with chronic mycolpasma pneumonia and chiari malformation. Both are extremely painful diseases and I'm only in high school. I have no social life, I have lost ALL of my friends because of my illnesses and I can't go to school because my body is so weak. Doctors are trying to find other solutions to help cure me, rather than have brain surgery for my chiari. The surgery is very risky and could either heal me or make things worse. I don't know what to do, my body is physically and mentally drained and I can't take much more of living on the couch. Please keep me in your prayers. I hope all is well in your life and peace be with you always. Thanks.
