I was diagnosed at the age of 35 with a unruptured brain aneurysm also known as a 'Silent Killer"An aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge. As the bulge grows it becomes thinner and weaker and can cause it to burst or leak. Its living with the fear of the unknown, a unruptured aneurysm rarely shows symptoms until it ruptures.
I also live with a silent killer....I had surgery for a cliiping of another one in 2006 , plus a brain artery repair. I have not had the support of my family , and have found it very difficult with the support groups that do have that. I never have had the opportunity to celebrate my Happy Annie day because it has never been recognized with my husband or family. Sound depressing...it is.
I just went for an MRA a month ago and have not got the results back yet. I am not sure why...but they keep saying...they aren't in yet...we'll try to track them down. In the meantime.....the waiting game.
The headaches..make me nuts. WAY TOO MANY of them.
