Hi Sarah,

Are you having new symptoms & are you in the follow-up care of a neurologist or neurosurgeon?
You may want to discuss your concerns with your drs., and/or possibly get another opinion from AVM experts mentioned throughout the community.

Patti gave you such great advise...exactly what I would have said! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. The best thing to do about your AVM is Stay Strong and Stay Positive!
