Hi @lisalucier, thank you for the information. My neuro team has no answers regarding what to expect or what to do to help with my recovery. They say, “we don’t know” because as they explained, not many people have survived. I was told I was very lucky. I decided to partake in a case study in order to help others who suffered a ruptured AVM.

Yes, I did start outpatient therapy last week. It has been a big help doing exercises to improve my balance. I do daily exercises on my own at home as well. The exercises seem to get easier the more I do them. Thanks for asking.

This is my first post on Connect. I have an AVM that was recently discovered via an eye exam, confirmed via an MRI and then a brain angiogram. My AVM has not ruptured and I plan on having it fixed at Mayo’s in the future. Any ideas, recommendations, or thoughts from your experiences. Thank you and yes,I'm scared.
