I too have been diagnosed with a brain aneursym. Mine is along the cartoid artery on the base of my brain. It was 9mm in Jan. As of Aug. it was 5-6. Not very big, but surgery would be too dangerous. Not to mention I have a 16 yr. old daughter and a 7 yr. old. No one to raise them if I died or had a stroke in surgery. I ask God to keep me here a while longer. For 3-4 years I have been experiencing memory loss, headaches, numbness in face/limbs and ear pain. Ocassionally my balance is off, which is very embarrassing. Sometimes I feel like I'm walking sideways and can't control it. It scares me. I was diagnosed in Jan. of 2008 at 34 yrs. old. My thinking is also disrupted often. I get confused alot, loose my car everywhere I go (lol). Doctors say this stuff is not related to the aneurysm, I disagree.
