Arteriovenous Malformations 

It’s been 2 years since your comment. How’s your recovery been?

Noorsaba Khan - I pray for your mother and her recovery, as she will need it. (I was born with a Chiari malformation that has remained untreated my entire life (I am 49 right now). The headaches never stop, it seems. (I really, really hope your mother gets medical help with this). When I was 5 1/2 months along in the only pregnancy I could carry full term, I was pushed and landed hard on the small of my back. My daughter was born with an AVM in her right leg, a vitamin K deficiency and a cavernous hemangioma (benign tumor in her right foot) as a result of what happened to me. She became an amputee and walks very well with her prosthetic. It makes me wonder now, even after all of the scans she had, if there is a possibility she has a Chiari.)

Same here.

Hi Heidi. My sister has an AVM too. I don't know your situation but I understand from my sister's experience that AVM surgery may be too risky for some patients depending on the location of the AVM and health of the patient. We are also waiting in the U.S. to see if she's a good candidate for this surgery.

I deleted my texts as lost my trust here to.uk don,t care about older people like me as they give me 50 50 odds yet I know that I'm not well enough for Neuro surgery and what's the point as they cannot take out my from back of my eye my avm

And I do not think it's worth my risk for to let them clamp my burst blood vessels,so as they denighed showing me ,my scans and yet they wanted more plus angio gram later.as I'm 60yrs in July,I not risk myself as I'm ill ECT plus 1st haemorrgh took my one eye sight so now only got one eye sight left.they never tell you all either yet I remember fistula in one letter at start of my journey.ps hope your sister okay.x

Well one can certainly tell, that you already had your hemorrhagic stroke
