She's home now but now on Prednisone.
I hope this helps her. Sending prayers your way!
Thank you!
Since there is no treatment for it is there anything that can be done to lessen the head aches such as diet, medications, physical activity etc.
thank you. hard to carry on and have a normal life.
I am so sorry to hear this. I was also diagnosed with amyloid angioplasty during a MRI for a brain tumor. Needless to say I was very scared and upset. I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester for a second opinion. They were unable to confirm without previous years MRIs and then it might not be definite. My brain tumor was growing resulting with Gamma knife which unfortunately didn't work. I had 2 strokes that resulted in brain surgery in my home town. I was told by several doctors caring for me that the only was to definitely diagnose it was with a postmortem biopsy. I have agreed to donate my brain for research upon my passing so my family will know. We relocated to another city and I have had numerous MRIs that do not indicate possible Amyloid angioplasty. Personally if you haven't done it I would consider a second opinion.
One of my older brother had a stroke this February his Doctor today advised us that he has CAA we are heart broken. We do not know what the future holds for him, he does not understand the depth of his illness. We need help, can you help us?
