I had an aneurysm in May of 2017,I OWE ME FULL RECOVERY TO GOD,THE DOCTOR SAID HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY I'M STILL ALIVE,IT DID RUPTURE ,I KNO WHY,GOD HAS MORE FOR ME TO DO,I THANK GOD EVERY DAY FOR WAKING ME UP.
God bless. I'm glad you are still with us. Mu grandmother is currently battling a brain aneurysm. ♥ can't wait to be there to help her during her recovery. We are keeping our hopes and prayers up.
My mom is admitted in hospital for brain aneurysm few days before. The pain in head she had gone through is very scary. I m praying to god for her recovery 🙏 n also pray never that disease happen to anyone , even for enemies.
I suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm in April, 2016. Three months later, I had a second brain surgery to clamp an unruptured aneurysm. I spent 25 days in the hospital and rehab. My family was told I would most likey not come off the operating table, if I did, I would not survive 24 hours. When I survived the first 24 hours, my survival was upgraded to 72 hours. I kept surpassing the predicted time lines. It has been four years now, and I experiencing very few neurological concerns. I fatigue easily, loss 40% of hearing and sight in my right eye. But, I am blessed to be alive. My Neurologist says God has something for you to accomplish. The severity of my central cranial artery rupture, he has never had a patient to survive that amount of damage and trauma. I hope my survival gives hope to other families.
Praying for you and thank you for sharing. My daughter suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm this past Monday and I'm praying for God to step in and give her a recovery.
Berthena Nunn glad you are ok may I ask how long where you in a coma? My mother suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm. She is in a rehab center but she is still in a coma it's going in 3 months 🙏
This was what I was dealing with 6 years ago, when I had a rupture while the doctors were operating on me. I suffered a stroke, don't remember until 6 weeks post surgery, had expressive aphasia (lacking of speaking), right sided weakness, cognitive deficits, and was out there praying to God for recovery. I went to speech therapy, physical and occupational therapy. I finally went back to work last year, when the doctors had the medicine worked out. I am very grateful to everyone.
The doctor said my Dad would have been 99% disabled if he had ever recovered so in some way it may have sadly been the best outcome for him. But understand, not everybody recovers. I wish anybody in the future to have a relative affected by a ruptured brain aneurysm the best of luck :) Stay positive
@@ra6700I hope your mother either survived or passed peacefully. They feel pretty much the same way about my father as the original commenter but I'm still praying for a miracle.
I had a brain aneurysm rupture several years ago, all I recall was walking into the living room with my wife and falling backwards.. I then woke up in the hospital I thought like the next day or same night, come to find out it was almost a month later.. I was completely flabbergasted and couldn't understand what had happened.. It took the doc's and my family prolly a week or so explaining it to me daily what was going on and where I was.. I still struggle with memory issues and fatigue to this day, it is NOT easy or a joke....
@@wyomingadventures its truly mind boggling what the brain an other organs can do to ya!! Its truly a miracle an a curse at times!! Im sooo glad you survived yours, an I truly hope youre prospering well afterwards!! Its a long hard road after something like that happens!! But god bless an keep you my fellow survivor!!
Glad to hear you are well. I had a nearly identical experience but I was alone. It is no joke. I’m still recovering after second one nearly a year ago.
@@debratroeak77 dear lordy Debra I truly hope youre doin better after suffering such a silent hard to detect killer!! Its such a hard thing to try an 1) come to terms with and 2) actually get on with some semblance of regularity!! Its truly no enviable position for anyone!!
@@DarkendHeartWithin hello sir... how are you now? my mother had an operation 2 days ago and she still not concious..is there a big chance that she will ever wake up and gain conciousness...
My boss had an brain aneurysm in july of 2015, now his recovered and well,we all lost hope then but the lord did'nt and he made my boss well..All prays o him
This is one of the most exact videos I have seen. My daughter was 22 years old when she had a ruptured aneurysm. She also had all the complications narrowed in this video. Thank God she fell in the 1/3 of the population That experiences some difficulty.
i had a rupture aneurysm when i was 10 years old and was bleeding for 2 hours in the brian, i had no problem when i got out of the hospital and i am fine now playing soccer in high school basket ball, and ultimate frisbee and snowboarding and every thin i used to do
@@universe-Universe-1this just happened to my mom about 11 days ago she just came from hospital god spared her life , I hope you r doing ok praying for your mom 💕
Ayah saya selesai pembedahan semalam dan hari ini masih ditidurkan utk rehatkan nya dulu,esok doktor akan cabut mesin ubat tidur supaya ayah sy sedar...oxigen,tknn darah Sume ok....nak tanya kak buat surgery clipping ke?
My mom had an aneurysm in her brain back in 07. That was one of the most difficult times in my life! Thank God she made a full recovery! No side effects from the rupture! She was one of 4 people I personally knew who suffered from an aneurysm & she was the only one who survived.
I'm the 1/3 fully recovered. 6 years on but I still get headaches most days due to over doing normal daily routine. I had a baby via c section 15 months after the rupture. Both consultants agreed I could have a natural birth but I didn't want added pressure on my brain as I'm told I'm high risk of another possibly in my 50s 60s. I am forever grateful to Dr Brodbelt from the Walton centre in liverpool for saving my life and I apologise for my temper in HDU I didn't realise how serious it was having never heard of aneurysm before. I offen think about back then bit like PTSD but I guess it's my biggest fear now. God bless you all
Thank God, he is not alone, Thank you to Doctors & Nurses whom learn a tricky surgeries to save lives. Intracerebral aneurism coil and clip survivor 2013, now 2021.
my brother had a aneurysm over a week ago. since then, he has been operated on twice. the doc says that the aneurysm has been removed and they say he should recover 100%. at the moment, he can speak, but it does take him a moment or two to give a answer. he remembers names, a inside joke between him and i and other things. he does have some memory loss. he thinks i am 20 when i am really 23, he thinks his car is green when its white. he did cry when i visited him yesterday.
my mum had this operation bro last two days...and still not waking up...how is your brother...how many days wmafter operation when he gain conciousness..thank u

David Barban hello David . How was your recovery ? My son of 7y had one ruptured aneurysm last year ... Still don't know how it is gonna be the future even having good recoveries in some areas better then others
Hi Paula. I am now 52 years of age. My parents helped me when I was your son's age. I had to go through a lot of physical therapy. I was in a wheelchair. At the age of 19, my parents told me that I have to live on my own...and although it is hard sometimes, even at my age, I have to thank them. They both are dead, but if they hadn't pushed me in trying to "cut my meat alone" or take my bath alone, dress, even dress alone, I would have to live with someone today. And since the age of 19, I live alone with my problems.. I have friends that are my age or older. They are married, so they take care of their children, they work. It is a long process, but you and your son will see the end result. And by the way, when I was 7, I was cheating on my physical therapy exercises. Don't blame your son, just tell him to do it "the other way, the way physical therapists" have shown you and him. Good luck to both of you. Sincerely, David
David Barban hello David . He now os walking by himself without help , training to walk with the best qualitativo possible . Right Hand still hasnt showed any signs to come Back altough the arm has some activity . Main problem ia language and comprehension . Still difficult ti reach some words .Reads, has good calculation skills ... friday leaves rehab center . Main concern are language and comprehension . How Wars it for you ? My son has an aneurism in pica , left side do the brain
Paula, I was walking, if I remember well, at that age. My right hand is physically handicapped. Like your son, I can do "some things", but most of what I could do before my aneurysms, I cannot do anymore. I cut my meat, I put in my right hand what I can hold....not heavy things. I also had an operation on my wrist, but it is painful, and costs money. Whatever he can do with his right arm is good.. He needs from you and other friends of your words of encouragement. Again, physical therapy helps a lot. I am here if you want to talk. Let me know how he is progressing. And by the way, language problems are well known fact, because the left side of the brain is language and, if I am not mistaking, comprehension too.. It is a process, and he has to go through it. You have to be patient. The rehab center will surely help. Ask them any questions you might have. They are here to help. Don't be shy! Ask. Let me know if you have anymore questions, or if you need a friend to talk to. Sincerely, David
My little brother just passed away from a brain aneurysm, December 7th 2021. He was 9 days away from his 23rd birthday... rest in paradise bub, I love you 🖤
So sorry for your loss. My buddy had a brain aneurysm 5 days ago and is still in ICU. I was research his diagnosis and found this video and your comment. Prayers continue.
I actually suffered a ruptured aneurysm around 6 years ago!?! Only positive is that I’m not addicted to nicotine anymore but now i’m 38 unemployed and living back with my dad!?! Not allowed drive and have no friends but I’m not addicted to nicotine anymore but I do believe that marijuana should be legal absolutely everywhere on our beautiful planet!?!
My Dad was doing training for his new work a couple hundred miles away from home, He collapsed in the street while walking to his accommodation with his work friend. When he got to the hospital he was scanned, and it was found that he had suffered a major Subarachnoid haemorrhage caused by a ruptured brain aneurysm. After about a week of intensive care, it was found that he had no hope of recovery. During that week, this video helped me understand and re-assure me that there was a chance.
Good day. I've just seen your comment and I'm not sure if you still use your account. My father is currently on day 8 after his ruptured aneurysm. They said he had vasospasm he's done 5 treatments to help with vasospasm and I get so scared reading the info online. He's awake and can see us and moves everything but obviously because of all the drugs they've given him he looks so tired. How long did it take for recovery and how was it like
@@christinesuccar3529 Firstly, I'm sorry to hear what you're going through, and I wish you and your family all the best. Already though, your situation seems more hopeful than mine. My father was put into a medically induced coma for the duration of his intensive care. He never displayed any signs of recovery before they turned off his life support. I think the reason I made my original comment was because every night, during my Dad's intensive care, I would struggle to sleep. I'd read over articles about brain hemorrhages again and again, realising the stakes either way. Sometimes I would find a success story, and that hope would help me get some rest, and I think this video gave me that reasurance.
@@christinesuccar3529 My daughter just suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm this past Monday (5 days ago) and she is experiencing vasospasms also. How is your Dad doing?
I’m praying she has had a good recovery. Sadly I am now in the same position with my mother and they said she has a lot of brain damage. Can you tell me what happened with your mother? Thanks 🙏
My uncle was found on the side of the in Nashville TN last night by two wonderful officers who saved his life. He us in the hospital fighting to live. He has a total of 5 aneurysm. I pray he makes it through.
He is doing good. He just made it back to Louisiana on Monday. He still has a long recovery but thank God he is alive! Thank you for asking and have a blessed day
Your welcome my Grandma had a unruptured brain anryesum she had double vision and she had an MRI and she had a bunch of anryesums but they only clipped one the rest of them weren't growing she has a MRI yearly and last year we find out she had breast cancer and it was sad she is 100% recovers from the breast cancer bless your uncle and you and your family

My son died last year because of aneurysm my wife right now also have a ruptured aneurysm the big difference is she talk and can-do small things the question is can she survive without any operation
@@jovsjob412 I'm so sorry for your loss :( ❤. Is she doing better now? My dad just had a ruptured aneurysm, they're performing an endovascular coiling and I'm scared
@@mercedesochoa100 be positive. He will surely fine. My mom gone through same two months before. She did endovascular coiling n she is fine now. I hope ur father is fine too.
I had a brain aneurysm rupture on 12/17/16 too!!! Rushed to the hospital, doctors found a “Basilar tip aneurysm measuring 4.2 x 3.7 x 3.2 mm with a neck measuring 2.3mm” that had ruptured. 2 other unruptured aneurysms were discovered during this angiogram. (And later a 4th, in total, aneurysm, which was overlooked at this point in time, was found). I did suffer a Vasospasm with stroke days after my surgery, but I survived that, and the rupture with only double vision for 2.5 months following, as the only issue. That did correct itself eventually. As of this date, September 25th, 2017, I have endured 5 surgeries in total to coil & stent where needed and I am happy to say I am almost as good as new. I def experience memory loss (I forget what I am saying or I can't come up with the word I want to use, and I do experience extreme fatigue by 5pm or so daily.) My last surgery was just a few weeks back to coil and stent my final remaining bulge, and I am back at work today living my life as I had prior to all of this mess. I know that further angiograms will take place to check the work done on my brain, (the next being in February 2018), as well as to monitor any further possible growth of new bulges, but for now, I am coiled and stented, and doing well.
My father had gone through aneurysm coiling and then shunt procedure for hydrocephalus . His cognition has improved after VP shunt but still his tongue movement is very less and jaw movement very restricted . He is on peg pipe feed still after 10 months for all his diet requirements and unable to chew ,swallow . Will any good effective treatment for dysphagia help relieve patient condition. Patient does not bring out the tongue properly in speech therapist sessions . Any good tips will be highly appreciated to bring patient recovery out of this critical juncture after aneurysm rupture from the experiences so far. Thanx .
Can you help me please my wife is still in the hospital right now and she got aneurysm ruptured Brain aneurysm is it possible not to have a brain operation
It's going to be very challenging, and you are going to be scared - but have faith, and patience. My mom suffered and survived a ruptured aneurysm almost 6 months ago (86 yrs. old). As they say, the recovery is slow, but when you see signs of improvement, what a joy! Stay strong my Friend and God Bless you, your family and your mom.
TWO YEARS ago: -Ruptured 18mm aneurysm -Comma immediately and was that way for a month -endovascular coiling --I has the two complications he talked about ==> I have been working so hard on my recovery since I was in the hospital (of course after I woke-up from the coma) till now ==? I lost the left eye field of both eyes.

my mother is 65 year old,she had brain subarachonid brain hemorrhage at 2 oct, pcom aneurysm, coiling procedure unsuccessful due to vessel takeoff behind aneurysm, doctor suggest surgery but we don't accept it, because she is diabetic and hypertension patients. so what we do now?
I bless God for full recovery from raptured brain aneurysm last year. The teachings of BAF have been very helpful in teaching me the intricacies of the condition. My doctors might not have told me much or I seem not to have suffered severe damages as a result I bless God today and forever

Question, my mom died august 2021. Is it true that if a person that suffered in aneurysm and in state of comatose will not be able to proceed to his/brain operation ?
Hi... i had an aneurysm ruptured .. now I’m one recovery at home .. but I’m feeling constantly dizzy.. can someone tell me how long is gonna take like this please ? Thanks
I had one 16 years ago. It takes time for your brain to heal. Take your time. Things well start coming back and the dizziness will go away soon. I know what you're going through. I'm glad you are here with us! Sheila
@@wyomingadventures Hi, I think I have it too, A extreme headache for almost 1 month, Then suddenly my headache stops, but I felt dizzy, and having memory loss, Is it natural?
@june, You need to see your family Dr so he/she can give you a referral to Optometrist and undergo a lots of tests. I had a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage due to raptured anuerysm 2023 of April and stayed in the ICU for almost a month. My healthcare team from my Nuerosurgeon, family Dr, Optometrist, rehabilitation, physiotherapist, psychiatrist, speech therapy and psychologist are working together. At the moment i feels better than before because of continuing physiotheraphy, speech therapy, psychology though i didn't go back to work yet.
i survived with bells on lol and i got 9 and have had heaps of surgery starting 9yrs ago when 1 burst.till then was unaware had any.may still be more op,s in future but thems the breaks.feel very lucky that health care in new zealand free and we have such good dr`s.i know everything in video but didn,t know anything but what i was told once and dearly would have liked access to video,s such as this.am male 45 and have never been over wieght but was and am a heavey smoker,to my shame
I ve hemorragic stroke march 16,2017. Last year. Coma. Bleed about 4 cm? Im still dont understand thd doctor said. So she did nothing to me. She said the blood will absorp to your body. I ve short memory lost smtimes. And still having headaches several times and so weak.
idk if it was tears of joy or if it was tears of frustration. they are going to start speech therapy today. im just worried if his life will go back to what it used to be. i would hate to see him struggle for the rest of his life due to this.
Hi Juandiego. Unfortunately, we don’t have a Spanish version. Would changing the subtitles to translate the video into Spanish work for you? Try clicking the to the cogwheel in the bottom right portion of the video > click on subtitles > click auto-translate > click on your language of choice. Hope this helps.
Can anureysm surgery should be avoid if ruputred anureysm ceased itself causing just headaches but no effect on other body parts ... Of size 7.5mm .. as cliping is risky procedure
@univers-nawin depends where her aneurysm is. Mine was in the front lobe. I was in the hospital for 52 days. Sometimes, it takes a while to heal afterward. I got better with time. I have a channel if you have any questions. Small channel. I will gladly answer anything I can for you. I'm sorry about her mom. 😔
my brother had a aneurysm over a week ago. since then, he has been operated on twice. the doc says that the aneurysm has been removed and they say he should recover 100%. at the moment, he can speak, but it does take him a moment or two to give a answer. he remembers names, a inside joke between him and i and other things. he does have some memory loss. he thinks i am 20 when i am really 23, he thinks his car is green when its white. he did cry when i visited him yesterday.
@@universe-Universe-1 Hi there. I didn’t think anyone would reply to my comment. My brother survived it all, but he struggled to recover. He was blind for a good while but after a number of surgeries and lots of meds, he has about 95% of his vision back. Able to drive, work, watch tv, play video games…you name it. His memory is back to normal, but sometimes he may ask me something he asked me 30min ago. But that’s every now and then. This happened when he was 19 or 20 years old. We were told that he has a better chance of surviving because he is young as opposed to others that are older. Im sorry that your grandmother is going through this, I wish you are you family the best.
How much time you took for recovered? How many days you were unconscious people who faced this problem? Pls reply my loved one also faced this situation right now operation is successful but still she is responding very low. Still she is unconscious so let me inform pls
@@universe-Universe-1 it’s very long process but as I told you if she get better treatment as well as care she will definitely all right… stay with her all time and give her positive vibes these all factors matter more than medicine
@@annvish1227 Same with my mum , it's happened to her bleeding her aneurysm during surgery,its happen to her 1thMay2023 ,😭😭😭,nearly 2 months ago. She was in a coma for 8 days ,then she woke up and couldn't move, she only opened her eyes and smiled. Now, after 7 weeks, she can talk a little, and they are doing intensive rehabilitation and physical medicine. She can sit now , she can't eat food at the moment. She forgot anything happened the day before. But that kind of memory comes and goes. She remembered most of the things in the past. Yesterday and today, we talked to her Dr's, and they said she is doing well. The CT scan they have from her Brian the other day , they said, showing the blood draining down. But it will still take a lot of time for her to recover. We have no choice but to support her and be there for her and give her a lot of love and hope to get recovering soon.
My head housekeepers had a brain surgery a week ago, they found out she had two aneurysms. She’s still in coma. I cannot still believe. I just went to see her today again and she’s not waking up. I’m so shocked about this because she looked well the day she had it. I’m hoping she’ll wake up soon and of course she will recover too.
Hi, I am recovering from a ruptured brain aneurysm surgery. I had emergency surgery on May 14th and hospitalized for 16 days (13 days in the ICU). The doctor will decide whether surgery is necessary or not. In my case was urgently needed because it was bleeding in my brain. Luckily my husband took me to an ER at the right moment. I am now patiently recovering until another angiogram procedure in August and in a year's time, God willing. All the best to your wife.
I had a ruptured aneurysm 5 years ago and they found another aneurysm. They operated and I recovered very quickly, except for about 6 months of constant headache. There is light at the end of the tunnel and I hope that you recover as quickly as I did and feel as lucky as I did. 😀👍
