@zoe888 Here is my story:
11/30/24- Passed out and taken to ER again. I suffered 2 ruptured aneurysms which I had to undergo emergency surgery. When they were done, they had to take me to CAT scan following the surgery to see if everything was in place, they discovered I had an another bleed and I had fluid in my brain. They took me back down for a second surgery to fix the bleed that they found and to insert a lumbar drain to drain the excess CSF in my brain. I was then taken to ICU and from there, they were taking daily ultrasounds of my vessels in my brain. They told me the danger zone from the aneurysms were between day 3-14 because the chances were higher to have a vaso spasm and possibly stroke out again.
12/11/24-The doctors decide to discharge me
12/12/24-Not even 15 hours from discharge, my kids rush me to the Emergency Room to find out I had a stroke again. This time I was showing signs of expressive aphasia (had time communicating and I couldn’t control my right side of my body). The took me into emergency surgery once again to deploy medicine. I stayed once again in the ICU for an additional 13 days more and was discharged Christmas Eve.
2/25-Crrebral Angiogram and my IR doctor found another aneurysm growing from one of the ones that he coiled back in November and it was growing rapidly.
3/25-Surgery to coil and stent the aneurysm
Lost a little bit of my short term memory but doctors said I was lucky to have survived with only minor deficits. I have tons of anxiety and fatigue on a daily basis.
Hi, @rosielani, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thanks for sharing your story with the aneurysms. You've been through a lot, and that is wonderful you've survived with only minor deficits. It seems very understandable you'd have fatigue and anxiety.
I'm tagging some other members who have knowledge of aneurysms and/or may have experienced one themselves or in someone they know @srm59 @raisanicole @jdspouse @badnaples @mkoch @thirdbird to provide support.
How has your doctor suggested you treat the fatigue and anxiety, rosielani?
