I am a VERY healthy 46 year old woman. What is any of your takes on this. Should I freak or not....??? I would have never known i had this if it wasnt for the MRI no symtoms at all, other than I feel dizzy but that has been going for much of my life. I have allergies so I think a lot of it now is just congestion in my head. but, now I am having panic attacks!!

I am leaving to go out of town for a week tomorrow. They said it was OK to travel. Thanks for any of your thoughts

Dear Suzi: I know about the not lifting, lifting anything over 10lbs causes blood to rush to the brain, with an aneurysm, you don't want that to happen, also keep your blood pressure down until you go to a specialist

Hello there everyone, New here, just signed up today..

I've dealt with the same type of fear. We all know our bodies, especially after going thru a traumatic event. I had a cranial anuerysm of the left corotid artery between my brain and eye a few years back. Had the artery coiled and things were fine after a long recovery. But i have had strange pains in and around my eye and face and neck on the right side now for about a year. Been to several Doctors and had MRI's and ultra sounds done and everyone says I am fine.

So my point is, if they say you shouldnt worry about it but you still feel scared and need verification, get a second opinion. It may help put those anxious feelings at ease.. After my surgery I was all kinds of nervous and paranoid.. It's natural..

Hi Suzi

My aneurysm was discovered as an incidental finding. I had a routine MRI (I have MS), and they did an MRA as well (which looks at the circulatory system in the brain).

My neurologist didn't tell me about it for more than six months, when I went back for my next routine exam he told me about it, told me not to worry about it and that we would monitor it.

My best friends are nurses, and they freaked out and said 'no way - get a referral to a neurosurgeon these are too nasty to muck around with'. So, I got a referral and off I went. The NS looked at my films and told me that I should get it clipped.

It ended up being 13 months from discovery to treatment, but after it was done the NS said the walls were very thin and it would have only been a matter of time until my kids found me dead on the floor. I have a photo that was taken during surgery and you could clearly see what he meant.

My point - and sorry for the long story about me, is please make sure that you see a Neurosurgeon or Cranio Vascular Surgeon. If you decide to monitor it fine, lots of people do, but find out all of your options.

Cheers

Lyn

Default my friend Jane

I have a dear friend who had her annie clipped last August. She has been doing well, but recently was in the hospital 5 days. Back on anti-seisure, and blood thinner meds again and has had mini TIA's. Last spring she had neck fusion after a severe impact car crash.

Please send your prayers and positive thoughts her way, she always thinks about others....even when she is having her own struggles. She is a new memeber here, and I am glad this forum has this available to her. If you would want to send her a private message...her member name is Ouch.

thanks

Oops! Didn't even look at the date - I just jumped on the band wagon when I saw it as one with a recent reply!
