Hi Jenny. Welcome to NeuroTalk. This IS a great place for support. I'm glad you found us.

I have, sitting behind my right temple, an arteriovenous malformation. I don't think about it too much. I saw the head neurosurgeon at a hospital in my state who said the surgery for it would be just as great a risk as leaving it alone. So I do and just hope that I don't stroke out.

I'm glad you survived! And I'm glad you're here.
