You are looking at a possible stroke, get a second opinion and start taking low dose aspirin daily.

You need a consult with a surgeon. The neurologist should have explained more , and given you treatment options if there are any.
I know they use a stent for heart problems. It is put into an artery to reinforce an area , I dont know if thats an option in your case.
If he hasnt ask for a consult with a brain surgeon and get your records transferred.
A defect of that type may be a problem at any time , it might last many years.
All you can do is try to stay calm and as positive as you can , watch your blood pressure. If you havent already get a will made and medical power of attorney to wife, parent or whover you trust. Make your wishes known about life support if there is little chance of recovery if you do have a bleed.
Good luck ..... take joy in every day and try not to worry, you have little control over what happens .

Ask the doctor's office to look up the name of the specific condition to which you are referring to. Then once you do that, start doing research on the Internet. Type in the name of the condition on the Google search engine and go from there. I can't believe your doctor gave you no hope at all. If I were you, I'd keep doing research and maybe go get a second opinion. Take your X-rays with you to the next doctor.

I am not a doctor but when my friend had an aneurysm, he told her not to drink coffee, smoke or any sort of soda. I do know that potassium helps the blood stream, I would look up on the net though about how to strengthen blood veins, its a good start. I will though pray for you and good luck.

What artery in the brain ?? If your Neurologist is giving you this news, there's no one in here that could change it. You really need to speak to your Doc again, and get as much detail as you can. Why is your artery so thin, etc. ~~~~~

Make sure you get a second and third opinion.
My cousin's doctors gave her 2 years max due to her cancer.
It has been eleven years since that diagnosis and she is doing remarkably well... She must be 51-52 now.
Don't ever give up. Good luck.

I would research every highly qualified neurologist in the country and try to find a treatment. There may be one you Dr. does not know about.
God Bless and Good Luck. Remember Pray, it pays off.
