Hi Barbie, you are not alone… I too have multiple aneurysms. Sounds like in the same places as yours, too. I have a thoracic aortic and iliac aneurysm. I was also diagnosed with celiac, abdominal aortic and cerebral aneurysms. However, recently those were downgraded with being enlarged and fusiformed. My doctor said they are all still aneurysms. Except the cerebral aneurysm. It is was out pouching and now they say it doesn’t exist. Hmmm
My arteries are also severely torturous and many are elongated. But my family tells me to stop worrying and just live life. I’m 69 and I’ve also heard how I could die of anything and they could die of the same thing. So what’s the big deal? They tell me what I should be doing and how I should live my life. And to get over my fear because I could die of anything at my age just like them. They don’t understand how I could be fearful of this. So when I happened upon your post I thought I totally get where you are coming from! And it’s not just me being paranoid. I even met with my vascular doctor last week and told him I feel like I have this invisible life threatening disease! And, do I? Or am I just overreacting? Ugh.

@bettykc Hello, I have one in my iliac as well measuring 2cm. I'm 44. How long have you had the one in your iliac for? I can find very little on the internet about them. Thank you
