Aneurysms Support Group

Anyone else with their aneurysm in the same place-and if so what was your treatment and how did you fair?

buster....I had two aneurysms in the same area, one in 2007 and one in 2008....they both ruptured and bled out into the brain area and was re-absorbed back into my system. Mine were both near the center of Willis deep in the brain so surgery wasn't an option. I was very sick and was in the hospital for the first one but the second one I just layed in bed for a week....I new I had one but knew that the doctors couldn't do anything....I know it was stupid of me not to go to the hospital, so I called my Rheumatologist and she ordered an MRI and sure enough it was another one....this one was smaller then the first. I am doing okay from this....mine are due to Vasculitis Lupus in the brain.

How are you doing with this?

So far I am doing fine-at times if I am under a lot of stress I get light headed, but not often.Do you have any short term memory problems or become agitated any? I believe mine was the result of a vehicle accident and don't know if it was from the bump or from the aneurysm but there is a lot I have forgotten (such as some memories from my childhood and from my children growing up), and at times I have left my oven on. But I cannot complain to much I am doing better than I was.

I don't have problems with remembering things that happened when I was a kid but I do have problems remembering things I did yesterday or a week ago, thought it was just because I was getting older but my Neurologist said it's from the aneurysms and where they happened.

I'm glad that your doing better these days...I am actually doing better myself, I believe the infusion medications I am having are helping the Lupus stay under control.
