I know we all have times of feeling a bit down about what we can do, used to do, etc. And you all know by now that I browse BBC news from time to time… so I found this article today that I thought was inspiring. I hope it is interesting to some in our AVM community.
I also hope it allows you to play the video outside the UK…
Most definitely living with AVM is not all doom and gloom.
My person story (briefly) - first diagnosed at 15 years old (partial Lobectomy) , that put paid to my ambition to join the army.
Since then I have enjoyed full life, working in construction as a tradesman. Re- diagnosed aged 30 (embolization coil therapy)
I have since managed to become a volunteer fire fighter & St John 1st responder, and am currently training for my first ever 1/2 marathon.
Currently challenged with Low SpO2 again and awaiting consultation.
Never say never and don’t let it get you down
Good luck to all
