Virginia L. Davies replied to Tori W.'s discussion 'Heartbeat in Ear'

hi, I have had tinnitus for years. Awhile back there was a beating sound. I guess God thought I needed purcussion!!! - it isn't happening often, but the tinnitus is about driving me nuts. It seems to be getting worse all the time. I don't…

Virginia L. Davies commented on Shane Crotty's blog post 'good but scared'

Hi, we are all so very different. I know it is hard, but try to take deep breaths and drink lots of water and let the fear and anxioty go. What you know, that so many people walking around, don't know, is that life does not happen like you…

Profile Information

Are you an AVM survivor, a relative, a friend, or a medical professional? (Required): AVM Survivor

When did the AVM bleed or, if there was no bleed, when was the AVM first discovered?: September 1, 1972

What is the status of the AVM?: Active

How was the AVM treated?: Not Treatable

Describe the AVM (location, size) if you know it.: I have now had three CVA from the AVM. it is about the size of a quarter and sits on my speach center

Please share your AVM experience. (Discovery, symptoms, treatment, recovery): it would take forever. Essentially I continue to deal with it. As an offset, I now have a pain condition, where my nerve endings are all mad. That is an offset of having a brain lieshion. Where mine is is terrible, as all my functions on my right side are affected. I have dystonia (involuntary body movements) on my right side. Lots more!

Would you like to recommend a surgeon, therapist, or a hospital?: I was at the University of Washington Hospital for a long time. I would generally advocate it. It was such a long time ago, and I have had two more cva (strokes, bleeds) since then. Being a teaching hospital, I think they might give you more tests than necessary - not sure!
