I did not even know what a AVM was let alone knowing that I had a time bomb ticking away inside me.I have cervical stenosis and have been seeing a doctor
for pain management.In 2006 I had a MRI performed and found out I have three
AVM's inside me..
One is on my brainstem(ponds) its the largest one 11 cm. and one deep within
my brain next to the white matter. It's smaller 9cm. both have bleed and left lesions.They both are still active.
I also have a small AVM on the very top..outside of my spinalcord.
SO to this day I havent a clue if my stenosis is causing my headaches..nerve damage in my arms and hands or my legs.I have degenerative disc disease all
thru my spine.
I am have been since 2006 trying to get disability and the judge just blew off both my doctors..and denied me..so im still appealling..wish me luck!
As for the AVM,s I just dont want to be around or watching the grandbabies and have a stroke.That scares me to death.I havent a clue if this will kill me or if it will render me worse off.Thank you for letting me let off some steam.lol
