LOL just as well it's not 6cm! :hug:

Hi there I never had any symptoms until it ruptured then I had headaches after the first one was clipped but I am sure that was because I knew about the other one. Jess

recently diagnosed

HI -
I have very recently been diagnosed with an unruptured brain aneurysm. I am only 27 - my symptoms are chronic severe headache, vision problems, numbness in toes and fingers, short term memory failure, dilated pupil, balance problems ... has anyone been diagnosed with an unruptured "annie" (someone else called it this - great) and not had to have surgery? I'm nervous...My neurologist is setting me up with a neurosurgeon, which I kind of took as a bad sign, even though she framed it as "covering all bases" etc.

Any comments, information would be greatly appreciated...

Yes I have had two Annie's one coiled and one clipped in 2004 both 4 mm and both to the point of rupture. I had numbing (most right side) but also both legs. I also had slur that happened once in a while that lasted anywhere from a day to two weeks,very tired always,could not remember,and felt like I had the flu for 8 months. I was working as a union painter when I felt like my nerves were on top of my skin...hot felt cold,cold felt hot on my right side and my neck hurt. That was in July 2004 so I saw my doctor who told me I may have MS (because both legs were heavy at times,and numb) anyway it turns out I had two Annie's.One was deep between the two hemispheres where they say only 5% of people get them and very hard to coil...long story short they coiled it.:winky: The one they clipped was in a Y shaped artery right in the center,so they could not coil because it would stop blood flow. A month after seeing the doctors for my last "you're fine to go" I had a stroke,when they say take things slow,rest and work back slowly they mean it. Me I was running up and down 4 flights of stairs at my son's apt. and for three day's feeling dizzy,I had no idea I was spiking my BP. Took me three years to walk and talk OK,still when I get tired I slur,my right side acts up,and I still have short term memory. So don't be like me..when they say rest,Rest!!!
Me and about 8 others from the BT site email each other everyday,we all go through the same things,but I know you'll do fine. Think positive they can fix you and if they can't,or feel unsure... get a second opinion. I live in Minn.and had two of the best Dr.Eric S. Nussbaum, Neurosurgery, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Dr. Madison,Madison did the coil.

I wish you the best,don't be afraid.

Miimi, you were one of the first to welcome me to BT, I left for a while and then got back on. I am so glad to see you on sometime. Thank you for the help you gave me in the past. ging

hi everyone. iv been getting really bad headaches for a while now always behind my right eye the doctors told me i am getting migraines but i get them about 4 times a week. i also have trouble thinking, you know when you know a word or name of something but you just cant remember it (this happens often) also i feel tired a lot i can sleep for hours then in the afternoon I'm still very tired i also feel sick every now and again for no reason! i also get shooting pains through my head when i bend down, are shouting at my kids!! and sometimes when I'm just sitting there not doing anything. i don't know if this is just me being silly but I'm a 24 year old woman and i don't think i should feel this bad for no reason. i was just wondering if any of you had the same symptoms as me. iv just made another appointment with my doctor but I'm not sure if they will take it any further. any advice would be great. thanks :)

Mine is small 3-5mm was wondering if symptons differ on each person

I have a unruptured aneurysm too. I"m lost about the whole thing. This is all new to me. So I feel for you. Mine is a basilar tip aneurysm measuring 6mm. They are recommending a MRA or CTA. I hope everything works out for you.

Well I am scheduled for surgery in Sept...they have to clip mine
I have so many questions about this dang invader

Inoperable Aneurysm Please Help

Hi everyone,
I had my angiogram and the surgeons say that my aneurysm is inoperable.
Actually the exact words were, " Sorry to tell you this but yer screwed"
That was really nice bedside manner, huh? Geesh. Anyway the aneurysm is an 8.5 x 6 on the top of the basilar artery. There are 5 arteries feeding into it. So I guess its what you call a fusiform? I dont know.:smileypray: They just said it's inoperableand hard to get to. I dont really know what to do and what not to do so it wont rupture. He just chuckled and said Dont be bunji jumping now..What a jerk. He was my second opinion. I'm so scared everyday. I also have hydrocephalus that cant be treated. They say I was born with it. I also had a stroke in the past that I knew nothing about. I'm just thankful to God every morning when I wake up. They said I could live to be 70 or die in my sleep tonight. Cant tell me anything else. Does anyone else have an aneurysm like this one and if so, Did you get it fixed? I have 2 Girls and a wonderful husband and I dont wanna leave them. I cry all the time, have headaches, and memory loss, and cant concentrate. Are these associated with the aneurysm? My headaches are sometimes unbearable but the doctors say aneurysms have no symptoms. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Cheri:Ponder:
