Hello everyone! My name is Lindsey, and I am an intern with Ben’s Friends. I will be helping @jamiee out by introducing our newest members, as we navigate the month of October!
@QueenB is in Michigan, United States. Bri is a young mom who was diagnosed with a right 11 mm MCA and is undergoing a clipping soon. I hope Brianna can find support and further information about her upcoming procedure in the community.
@Cathleen2 is in New Jersey, United States. Cathleen had a ruptured aneurysm in 2022, which was treated via clipping and cauterization.
@AbbyMN is in Minnesota, United States. Abby went to the ER thinking she was going to get a migraine shot. She then was diagnosed with two brain aneurysms, one of which had ruptured. She underwent one coil procedure on 10/2 and will receive the next one later this year. I hope she is able to find other patients who have experienced the same pain during recovery.
@sarahe0015 is in Colorado, United States. Sarah was recently diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, but has yet to see the neurologist.
I hope everyone is doing well and feeling supported within the community. I encourage you all to continue sharing your stories and updates as well as seeking advice and asking questions. If you have any questions about posting on the forum, please contact @ModSupport and we will be glad to help.
