Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) survival and side effects

Posted by auldcelt @auldcelt, Dec 16, 2016

I'm a survivor of an AVM in my right hemisphere. Since the surgery I am dealing wth migraines and wondered if anyone else has experienced this. If you have what have you tried to get back to normal living. I'm also interested in reading about studies and research on AVMs

Welcome to Connect, @auldcelt.
I'm glad you started this discussion on AVM. Here are a couple of links to research being done:
- About Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) | Aneurysm and AVM Foundation (TAAF) http://www.taafonline.org/am_about.html
- Arteriovenous Malformation Information Page | National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/avms/avms.htm

When did you have the surgery? How are you managing the migraines?
