Hi Joanna,
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.
You've certainly had a lot of very serious health issues in the past ten years. I'm also sorry that you're in so much pain.
If you want to search for other posts where people have been dealing with similar heath problems, you could try the
Forum Search Feature
[btw, Searching for something such as AVM will not work though because it needs to be more than 4 letters. You could try Arteriovenous Malformation.]
There is also the
Chronic Pain forum
take care there.
