My apologies! Just goes to show I was scurrying to reply before I needed to start work. šŸ˜ I am an official card-carrying member of a pipeline flow diverter (yes, literally I have a card in my wallet)! > **[Pipelineā„¢ Flex with Shield Technologyā„¢](https://www.medtronic.com/en-us/healthcare-professionals/products/neurological/neurovascular/aneurysm-flow-diverters/pipeline-flex-with-shield-technology.html)** > > Pipelineā„¢ Flex with Shield Technologyā„¢ is a third-generation embolization device designedfor placement in a parent vessel across the neck of an intracranial aneurysm (IA). My hospital system seems to use either Medtronic for some of my devices (admittedly Stryker for my coils), but of course, your team may use a different provider. You must be so excited to see the doctor tomorrow: please let us know what s/he shares! Your comment reminded me, just the other day @LLL posted about what they learned about how to handle headaches (Vitamin D), so it may be worth asking your doctor about it. > [@New to Communityā€¦ and Grateful!](https://www.bafsupport.org/t/new-to-community-and-grateful/20013/23): > > But for those that get HEADACHES here is a tip. I tried all kinds of medications, having a pain level at a 10 out of 10 and finally asked the neurologist if there were any new things to try and he said the Vitamin D is showing good progress. Yes Vitamin D, 400 MG (200 MG in the AM and 200 MG in the PM) it worked for me, headaches went from 10 to 3 (which I can deal with). Reasoning for not taking 400 MG all at one time is the body canā€™t use that amount all at once thatā€™s why you split it up. You canā€™t overdose on Vitamin D your body with send it to your urine. Yes your urine will be really yellow anyway. It can take a little time for it to work but be patient it ends up helping a lot of people I tell this to. I had stopped taking it for awhile and the headaches came back. I got back on and am now having headaches around pain level 3 again. Be patient it can take up to 3 months to start working but I will take it forever if it keeps my headaches mild. Please let us know how tomorrow goes!
