If i were you I would call the hospital and talk to someone in patient accounts. i had a friend who was told they had a brain anurism (sp?) and they shipped him to another hospital etc etc and racked up alot of bills and the wife called and ended up they didnt have to pay it. Chances are you will have to pay for the first one though, it was part of your treatment.

My husband, 24, has got an AVM in the Right parietal lobe of his brain.   I am not sure what a syrnix is, or where her AVM may be.  He was diagnosed with the AVM almost 2 years ago now, and has undergone 5 embolizations of it, with still more to go.  It has been a long, up and down battle, but as of now he is doing great!!   If you have any questions, or want to contact me, don't hesitate!--  Email me.  sonotech02@yahoo.com  \n  I work in the medical feild and have been researching this for the past 2 years with assistance from many doctors!

My dad had a girlfriend a while back that has a brother with an inflicted brain injury causing severe mental incapacity and loss of function. She told me about going to groups, and how she found out about how to deal with caring for her brother under such conditions. One of her sources of info was a group she found on the web years ago, since dissolved. Here are a few other options. Good luck, blessed Be.

LMAO! After hearing some of the horror stories from my brothers I would have to say having an abcess drained. Either way you'll be drained of something depends what you can afford to lose.... fluid or sanity! Good Luck! =-P

I can tell you from first hand experience it's no fun. I ruptured L5-S1 many years ago and had to have surgery. I'd say I recovered to about 95% after wards. There are some new techniques now that you may have a better chance of staying healthy than I did. I have since ruptured L3-4 and had another surgery. Now I have degenerative disc disease and have to take meds every day. I tried a Chiropractor with no success. I'd do whatever the doctor said if I were you. See a good neurosurgeon.

no - see another doctor........my 18yr. old cousin was bieng treated for migrain headaches - for 6mos. started having seizures and another doctor actually found that she had a mass on the brain that was cancerous, stage 4, terminal..........she died. you dont have time for mis-diagnosis, life is already to short.

I don't understand your question. Until emptiness? Are you talking about hydrocephalus or some other disease state?\n\nEDIT: Hmm. Now I better understand your question, but I have to admit I don't know the answer, it's not my area. It does sound rather severe. A Neurosurgeon is the best person to ask, if you have not already had an appointment with one. Is this congenital (child was born with this)?

Try looking on webmd.com or another medical site. I think they can live into their 50s but most don't get very old.

I feel that the United States doctors are going crazy w/ this diagnosis. I feel this is something you can help on you own.  I think that this is a super crazy world w/ tons of things going on in our lives at once and because of this, some of us have a hard time focusing.  You need to practice focusing possibly w/ the everyday use of meditation you could over come this so call disorder.

Want to pass on some information.\n\nFor hydrocephalus, Dinshah uses the Dinshah color Lemon and Indigo systemic (from hip to over the head) on the back and on the face. He also has a color suggestion when there is paralysis involved.\n\nThe color Lemon is used for persistent disorders, the color Indigo for arresting discharges, e.g. too much fluid in the brain.\n\nDinshah Color MedicineTM is so gentle that you may want to try it. It may take a while to see a change but it may come with persistence. Dinshah had helped a girl, paralyzed from birth on, to walk normally within three years!\n\nPlease see the sources below for more info.\n\nLet the light shine! Cordially, India.Magica

I had my stroke at the old age of 46.  It was difficult the first week in the hospital as I had difficulty talking and my entire left side was weak.  When I got home I practised the exercises I was given to do as therapy and also attended rehab.  I asked the family not to do things for me unless I asked them to.  It was frustrating not to be able to do simple everyday tasks.  And while I intellectually knew strokes could cause depression I never applied it to me.  Shortly after going home I one day decided I just couldn't stand it any more.  Of course I was now suffering major depression but didn't recognize it in myself.  Luckily my Dr did and started me on a regimen to control this.\n\nWhat I am saying is treat your brother the same as always.  Let him be your guide on how much assistance he needs.  And be on watch for the sudden depression - not saying it will happen but it is possible due to hormonal and chemical changes in the brain.

Please take a couple of seconds to read this, it could help somebody. \nDo read this it may be very useful one day!! \n\nDuring a BBQ a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured \neveryone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and \njust tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her \ncleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a \nbit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the afternoon. \nIngrid's husband called later that evening telling everyone that his \nwife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed \naway.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ - had they known how to \nidentify the signs of a stroke perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. \n\nIt only takes a minute to read this   -  a neurologist says that if he \ncan get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the \neffects of a stroke...totally. \nHe said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed and \ngetting to the patient within 3 hours which is tough. \n\nRECOGNIZING A STROKE \nThank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps. Read and Learn! \nSometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. \nUnfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke \nvictim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize \nthe symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize \na stroke by asking three simple questions: \n1.      Ask the individual to SMILE. \n2.      Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. \n3.      Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (coherently) (e.g.... \nIt is a sunny day today) \nIf he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 999 \nimmediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. \nAfter discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could \nidentify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, \nresearchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. \nThey presented their conclusions at the British Stroke Association's \nannual meeting in February. \nWidespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and \ntreatment \nof the stroke and prevent brain damage. \nA cardiologist says if everyone who gets this message sends it to 10 \npeople; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. \nBE A FRIEND AND SHARE THIS ARTICLE WITH AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE, \nyou could save their lives.
