Wiz-
Sorry to hear about Laura. I have a lot of autoimmune disease in my family and have Grave's disease myself. Hope you are hanging in there and have found support. ((hugs)).

Sounds like our untreated aneursyms are near the same spot. Mine is in the sinus cavity, 11mm, right near where the opthalmic artery branches off the carotid artery.
Bell's Palsey will cause your face to suddenly droop on one side. People are often scared they had a stroke. Normally it clears completely up in 4-6 weeks. I still could raise my eyebrow on the affected side. That is unusual, so they ordered the MRA. Have they discussed coiling with you?
