Considering Surgery

You have to always weigh the risk vs. reward Paolo.  I went to high school with a kid who had an anuerysm and he experienced temporary blindness until after the surgery.  He had no symptoms at all before hand.  Talking to him afterward he said that he had no idea what he'd have done had the blindness returned or never been fixed.  Obviously there are risks with any surgery.  Will having the surgery definitely boost your ability to live or not? Are they even sure its an aneurysm at this point?

Prolonging your healthy life is the key.  I'm sure your family will agree.

 Paolo you've got a lot of living and games in front of you. Let the doctors know what's going on. You've got to be strong for the ones that love you most. Them and a good dose of faith will get you through. Sounds like you've done pretty well so far without always being dealt the best hand. 

I'm pulling for you. My freind had a brain aneurysm totally out of the blue and the doctors pulled him through and that was without time to prepare.   Go get it checked out. It might be something totally benign. You just never know.

Good luck to you and keep us posted.  Tony, better known as "Grinning Bear" 

Paolo,

 I would not wait. Go get it checked out. My Grandmother was perfectly healthy, died overnight due to a brain anuerysm. No prior conditions.

My aunt started having headaches and started to forget things like conversations and then she got lost on the way home from the airport. It was a 20 minute drive to home and she wound up in another state about 1 hour and a half from home. She didn't know how she got there. The doctors found cancer in her braina and they could not operate. She got progressively worse, didn't recognize people and died a few months later.

My advice is to get it checked as quickly as possible. Don't wait.

Hope this helps.
