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.

Hi, @stellgma - glad to hear from you and that you are doing well and not experiencing headaches. That is unfortunate the daily aspirin the doctor put you on is irritating your stomach.

You mentioned your primary care doctor put you on ranitidine (Zantac) now. Is that helping the nausea and stomach issues at all?
