This review is an introduction to my way of finding good, unique and inspirational lenses to feature on my day of the week i.e. Wednesday.
By using a random adjective word generator, I will hope to find squidoo lenses that fit the criteria for featuring on Squidoo Lens Reviews. So, as a heading for each post, I will give you the word chosen followed by the review.
I'll let you decide if the lens chosen bears any truth to the word generated.
I hope you enjoy!
Random Word Generated: Unpleasant
I first came across this disease whilst watching an episode of Dr. G. Medical Examiner. It was stated then, on that show, that the condition was extremely rare but can sometimes prove fatal. It didn't, however, elaborate on the symptoms commonly experienced as the programme focusses on the cause of death, only.
So, when I came across What Is Arnold Chiari Malformation? by Caravansarai by way of my random word generator, I just to had to feature it.
Like many people, I can't imagine living with such a debilitating and life-threatening disease and I'm conscious of the fact that I complain like hell about the conditions I do have to live with. Doesn't seem fair, does it?
Those, like the one half of Caravansarai, are the people who help to stop others from losing control to their own difficulties as they put lesser mortals to shame with their uncomplaining attitude to life; they are the ones who are able to bounce back from trauma and laugh about the troubles they experience.
However, more importantly, they are also drawing attention and awareness to ACM which can go undiagnosed for many years. The world is full of misdiagnoses and missed diagnoses, an experience that we can all probably relate to at one time or another, so lenses like this are a godsend for many.
Have you or someone you know ever had a misdiagnosis? Did it ever get sorted out?

I like your random word generator idea and yes, this disease sounds more than unpleasant. As someone who has dealt with headaches in the past and received more than one wrong diagnosis, I can relate. It is great that people who have this disease are talking and sharing information online.
ReplyDeleteI was prepared for the unpleasant part, but was delighted to find this was not only very well written but also, dare I say it, entertaining. A wonderfully positive attitude to what sounds like anything but fun and hugely inconvenient in addition to the pain. Your strategy for finding great lenses is working, Carrie -- thanks for finding us such a fantastic health-related article and one that (like Carol's a few days ago) the comments reveal to be reaching out to others suffering from similar problems.
