Hello everyone, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself..

In 2005 I had a aneurysm of the left corotid artery. I was very large and was diagnosed after many months of having horrible blinding migraines and sudden stabbing pain thru my left eye. I had the annie coiled which also closed that artery. Recently I have been having some unusaul pressure and pain in my right eye and socket as well as my neck and base of the skull.. I've had several MRI's and ultra sounds but doctors say I have nothing to worry about.. But I don't know, still kinda scary...

So I'm here to offer my support and perhaps receive a little support when I need it too..

Thank you in advance

Hi,
Welcome to the site, I'm kind of new here too, I had a clipping after a rupture in Jan of 05. I get checked every year and things are unchanged, but I too get wierd twisting pains, fullness in head and weather changes make my head ache, still get visual migraines but not as much as pre aneurysm.
It seems to me in people I have come across from different aneurysn sites that headaches are more common among people that had their aneurysms coiled. Just an observation of mine, not a medical fact. Have you tried yoga or meditation, yoga really helped me and still do it when my mind is in a twist. Always great to meet a fellow aneurysm survivor, and hope you feel better and get some answers and relief,
Ruthie
