Hi Rachel, I am sorry to hear about your daughter been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm.
I may be older than your daughter, but as many others on this site, we have had brain issues, ie, aneurysms, ruptures etc.so we all understand the issues that you and especially your daughter is going through.
Although I had a brain blead five years ago (and aneurysms I didn’t know I had), I still have another aneurysm on the opposite side of my brain, which the neuro surgeons are watching. They did want to operate over 4.5 years ago with a stent, but because I was still getting over the first op I delayed it. My aneurysm is still being checked via an MRI, but every 5 years after last year, due to it being stable for over 2 years.
Due to her age of 26, if she is fit and can do what is necessary to control it, your daughter may prevent her aneurysm from rupturing, or it could even help her especially with her age.
Please tell her from me not to worry, it is surprising the amount of people who have this and survive, but not to worry, be realistic, but don’t over do it either.
I guess, as for me, it is finding the right balance and action on each individual, and what will work for your daughter.
If I can offer you any advice, do as much research as you can, and double check.
Good luck.
Note to Survivor2 and members:
Thank you for your wonderfully supportive message to Rachel. Although we haven’t heard from her lately, I’m sure she will be grateful for your kind and encouraging words. In your post, there was also some information about nutritional advice and hints, which we call complementary therapies. Because we like to keep all complementary therapy information together in one place, we have taken that out of the post and made it into a standalone post in the Complementary Therapies sub-category. That way it can be found easily by others, because the subject line will be found by the search engine.
*Again, Survivor2, thanks for your wonderful contribution. *
