I live every day with cerebellar tonsillar ectopia a little-known neurological condition where part of the brain presses down into the spinal canal. For me, that means chronic headaches, balance issues, slurred speech, and more. It affects less than 1% of people, yet it remains poorly understood, underdiagnosed, and underfunded. Sharing my story is my way of raising awareness because conditions of the mind deserve more recognition and compassion.
