Speaker 3 (02:37):
There isn't a yellow one. There's only orange.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yes, yes, it's orange. It's orange. Where am I going?
Line four? Hi, Elliott in the morning.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Sorry, I suffered brain damn Hey hello.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Hey Elliott. So my name is Jody, and I actually
suffer from a brain condition called cure malformation. Me and
my three children have it. It's where part of our
brain actually hangs outside of our skull, and it causes
severe migraines, and along with those migraines, it actually affects
your memory.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
My middle child.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Actually suffers from really bad short term memory lots. So
I just wanted to share that because I hear that
you guys have migraines and you're struggling and I and
a lot of times you don't get diagnosed until you're
an adult because it's such a rare condition.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
What is it called?

Speaker 5 (03:30):
And remember that my youngest got diagnosed when she was
only four, but the rest of us got diagnosed shortly
after she did.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
And what is it? What is our condition called?

Speaker 5 (03:42):
It's called malformation.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
That's what I got. Yep, you know, my brain's hanging
outside my skulls.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Hey, can I honest question where where outside of your
skull is your brain?

Speaker 5 (03:57):
So on the back of your brain, you have what
you call cerebellum tonsoles, and you're opening that connects your
final column to your skull. There is a large opening
with a piece of tissue called your form and magnum.
And due to that, my brain actually squeezes outside of

(04:18):
that piece of tissue. It's a very small piece of
my brain, only about three centimeters, but it does some
really bad damage.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I got it right here. I mean mine's b I
could feel it.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Scary.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, mine's bigger. That's scary. I've never even heard of that, yep.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
And the only cure is to do brain surgery. And
even with brain surgery, it's not a cure, it's just
a like stop the symptom. So, like my middle child,
she had brain surgery when she was four, and she
like still really struggles with like the headaches and the
short term memory loss and the other symptoms that she

(05:00):
came in with. So it's as I said, it's a
rare condition. Not a lot of people know about it,
but once you kind of figure out you have it,
like all of the like when my daughter got diagnosed,
like all of the things that she had going on
kind of fell into place. You probably don't have it,

(05:20):
but you know, it's something to look into.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
It's rare that I lose a game and I did
even get on the board. I couldn't even remember Daryl Hall.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Yeah, so definitely contact a neurologist, ask for an MRI
because that's the only way to diagnose. And you know
a lot of people they get diagnosed. It's kind of
like cancer. You know, you get diagnosed if you go
into the hospital or the doctor for something else and
then all of a sudden, baym it's there, and uh,
you know it's it's rare, but once you have, once

(05:50):
you find out you have it, that it's much.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, I got Kars all right, very good, very good.
Thank you, ma'am, thank you.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
And it's so big
