I had a coiling on a 2mm aneurysm on sept. 30 2011. it was locaed on the right internal carotid. what brought me to the doc was ringing in the ears after a sinus infection. my aneurysm did not burst but i still have the ringing and it is 24/7. my neurologist says it has nothing to do with my unruptured aneurysm. i have read this symptom on here with people with ruptured aneurysms. very confusing for me. i know one thing, i really wish i could figure out how to make it go away. ha. anyone else with an unruptured aneurysm and ringing in the ears
I have a large cerebral AVM and two clipped aneurysms (all unruptured). I have a bruit (wooshing sound in my head) from the AVM. It is not all the time, usually just when I'm stressed or getting a migraine. I can remember hearing it sometimes as I tried to go to sleep when I was as young as 8 years old.
I teach high school & some days I just can't take the normal noise of high schoolers--typically I am more sound sensitive prior to and during a migraine. And I HATE going to me Read 180 support group meetings (Read 180 is a reading intervention curriculum). I love the program, but most of the Read 180 teachers are elementary or junior high teachers. And they seem to feel to need their "teacher voices" even when we are discussing things in small groups. It is not unusual for me to take a Maxalt, Excedrin, or Tylenol during these meetings (thankfully only once per month).
When I woke from surgery after my clipping, apparently I was shushing my mom because I thought she was too loud. I do remember telling my husband he was being too loud.
A couple of months after my clippings, I was still getting migraines, but they had changed. My surgeon sent me for another CT and then to a neurologist. She said that I am most likeley a migraneur & would get migraines without the AVM & annies, but that they probably have made them worse.
She has me taking Pamelor/nortiptylene and told me to practice "good sleep hygiene"--turning off the t.v. & computer an hour before bed time. It does make a huge difference for me. She says Pamelor is better than other antidepressants for helping with migraine.
Hello dottie. OMG where to begin .... Sorry to say this but reading about your struggles gives me a feeling of relief. Headaches everyday some are worse than others some I can ingnore. Fatigue .check, memory loss check check . depression hate to admitt it but yes. My annie ruptured may 5 2011 I have had a couple of procedures and more to come . I also have the same problem with words . It can be down right embarrassing. I also just learned or noticed that when I get stressed or overwhelmed I have a little studder. good stuff I'm 30 years old married with 2 boys 11 and 6 . My husband laughs not to be mean but to make light of it . which is fine . But just yesterday I had a birthday party for my boys whose b-days were jan. 8 and jan . 9 ( ahhhhh) I said the wrong word at the wrong time . or had a hard time pronouncing a word or 2 . and had some giggles and looks that I didn't appreciate . these aggravate me .because they all are aware of what I went through but seem to think no harm no foul all is well shes not in the hospitol . shes fine . I get so embarrassed when i say the wrong word then feel like i have to explain myself and remind people that my brain blew up . I don't need or want pity I just want people to get it and understand why . I hate to say this this way but these docs that saved ourlives thank you but kiss my ass when itcomes to telling us its not related , bullshit ! I wasn't like this before hand don't you dare try telling me its not related. I swear if I'm told that again . I will not be able to bite my tongue anymore . I'm extra sensitive aswell . and I get aggravated easy . I have just recently had a huge blow out with my younger sister . her and i have always been so close . but she too doesn't get . and I got pissed . Yes I am alive and for that obviously am happy but I am so damn tired of these new things that we have to accept . I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL !!! . somedays i just cry and cry over it others I'm down right angry . and I too don't want to be around people. I just found an old childhood frien on facebook he knows what happened to me . he wants to get together I'm afraid too . I'm sick of being embarrassed.As far as memory loss . LOL I have walked into a bathroom at thr grocery store and wheni was about to walk out my mind went blank I had no idea where I was . it only lasted about a minuteor two . but I have also been driving down the road and completly forgot where i was or where I was going . My docs agree that the memory issue is related . What an easier world it would be if us annie survivors could just all live in the same town . where everybody understood us . lol . well sorry for rambling . bottom line you are not alone you are not the only one . I feel EXACTLY how you do . and I have no advice for you . lol sorry . I just wanted youto know I'm having the same "UN related " issues .

After thought ... Loud noisesonly bother me if they are sudden and out of my control. I canget in my car and crank my favorite song . I jump like crazy to loud sudden noises . The theater did kill me tho . we brought our son to see transformers and I thought i was going to die .i crammed tissues in my ears and shoved my fingers in there too. lol . That jumpy thing I have always scared easy but now I'm not kidding I jump if the phone rings and I happen to be standing next to it . lol
i did the same thing after surgery!! my husband and dear friend were trying to comfort me and i was like "no more talking please!!". i just couldn't bear any sound.
just singed up for your blog.
