All the AVM symptoms but no diagnosis yet

I completely agree with this bit. So, it will be good to have a closer look to see what is going on. An MRI is a decent way of looking inside but an interventional radiologist will probably then want to look with an angiogram – with the injection of a contrast material-- to see the VM in more detail.

The cerebellum is a tricky place and until recently, I would have said people don’t get AVMs in their cerebellum operated on but I’ve seen several stories in the last few months where a cerebellar or brainstem AVM has been treated. It is more complex and it is more likely that they’ll say “I’m not touching that” but you need the docs to do some scans to see what you’ve got where.

I’ve got pulsatile tinnitus, regular tinnitus, ear fullness and a bit of dizziness maybe. Head pressure as well. I had a rubbish night last night but a couple of paracetamol have made me quite good this morning. My story at the moment.

Very best wishes
