I have my 5th embolization on November 7th. I got diagnosed at 18 and have been treating my AVM since around 19 and now I’m 24 and still a long road ahead of me. I’m very much over it at this point lol. I’m hoping to get an epidural before my procedure again this time like I did during surgery number 4 in March because that tremendously helped to manage my acute pain after the surgery. But I’m still scared, these things are never fun. Still haven’t been able to see a eye specialist about the supposed blood vessel situation in my eyes (due to still being uninsured) so I’ve been very freaked out about that but trying not to overthink that whole situation until I can see a doctor that can tell me exactly what is going on. All in all my anxiety has been extremely high these last few months and on some days it feels unmanageable. But I’m trying to keep pushing through it and hoping for better days ahead.
