Hi my name is Frances. I am 80 years old and have been diagnosed with a 4.2 aortic aneurysm. I also have 2 stents because if two almost completely clogged arteries. I am in pretty good health other than my controlled rheumatoid arthritis, thanks to Humira. It’s good to have a place to discuss similar conditions without sounding like I’m complaining.

Hello @franip and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. What a great photo of you! You look like a very engaged 80-year old who is enjoying life.

Most of us on Connect agree with your thought that this is a good place to post about our health conditions without the fear of people telling us we are complaining. We do have concerns when our health problems are mounting and it is often hard to tell where one problem ends and another begins.

As you are posting specifically about your 4.2 aortic aneurysm, I am sure that other members with this condition will post in response to you. In the meantime, however, I'm wondering what symptoms you are currently having and if your doctor has offered any treatment options.

Once again, welcome to Connect. I look forward to getting to know you better. Will you post again as you feel comfortable doing so?
