Hi - some of you have mentioned arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and I'm wondering how things are going. I'm sure others will benefit from hearing about your experiences.

@stellgma - have you continued to be pain free following your craniotomy? Do you know if you will be getting gamma knife radiation on the third lesion found in the surgery?

@tanvir22 - how is your brother doing?

@auldcelt - how are your headaches?

Hi! I’m doing well. No headaches, but my dr put me on 325 mg a day aspirin which seems to be irritating my stomach. A lot of nausea. 😖 He reduced it to 81mg at my brain angiogram on sept7, but still not better yet. My primary care Dr put me on Zantac 2x a day yesterday...hoping this helps! My 3rd lesion apparently is in a bone and is not using a brain vein to drain at this time so the surgeon will do an MRA in a year to check it.
