They were found by accident on a MRI I got after getting atypical symptoms with Bell's Palsey. I would be in no hurry to get yours treated if they are small. Once they are larger I feel it is crazy not to get them clipped or coiled if they are where they would cause a stroke. Even though they might never rupture, a subarachnoid stroke has a high mortality rate. My untreated aneursym is behind my right eye and is positioned where it wouldn't bleed into my brain if it ruptured and cause a stroke. If it ruptures I could easily lose my sight in that eye, but getting it treated is a judgement call. It's in a bad place to treat and even though it is large it causing no problems at the moment. Talk to the best doctors you can find and ask lots of questions.

What a cute site this is compared to BT. We the old members have just been emailing everyday or doing messenger. It's our own little site Chris C., Chris B., Suz, Lyn, Pam, Ruth, Julie,Tink, Lori, Glenn and it goes on!! Much better then Bt with all the fighting (who needs that?) you get some newbies that decide to act up trash talk those of us who have been on since day one administrators who we know for a fact were just out of there teens...not good. We have each other for support and can say what ever we want.
I still go maybe once every other month and read some of the post....nothing has changed there that's why we don't bother. Same people on Bt talking the same BS about each other,our little group is full of support,laughs and we don't need it over at that site. What we miss is helping others and at times we get info. on someone who needs us and we answer. Nothing like been there did that...so I'm happy to see you here helping people go through this journey
It's so good to see you...
