Would anyone be willing to meet up to share theirstory for the world? I know we are all dealing with this but we have to be strong and spread awareness to others! Would anyone mind being onfilm to share their story?
I think this is a great idea. My story isnt all that interesting, more so a story of luck but id be willing to share. When researching avms it was hard for me to find info as readily available for people who had not yet had a major event before discovering their AVM, mind was found incidentally i thought I had the flu and didnt want to miss work! Anyways before I Start rambling, great idea
Jasmine,
It is about time we all come together and raise awareness. My daughters Brain AVM was diagnosed 2 years ago on Memorial Weekend. But we had no idea what was coming. There was not much information available. Now 2 years later, 2 brain surgeries, we are going home on March 27, 2016.
I think you would be more successful in raising awareness if you choose a couple of people to narrate their experience in full detail but from a different perspective. Medical, rehab, financial, emotional support, loved ones support, parents, etc.
I would like to hear from single mothers who are the sole caregivers to their AVM Survivor. I feel overwhelmed and would like to know how some parents managed to move on. I wanted to quit my job to care for my daughter 24/7 but need insurance to cover the cost of her therapy. Does any one know of resources or other assistance.
Best wishes
