Surviving the hardships caused by a brain aneurysm rupture - informational survivor video

The outcome of a brain aneurysm rupture can be different from person to person. Finding help or accurate information can be difficult on top of the emotional toll it plays on everyone including family members and caregivers.
Scott Campbell shares his story with the Brain Aneurysm Foundation about his wife Cheryl's brain aneurysm rupture. He hopes his story of triumph and hardship can help others.

Watching stories like these gives me hope. My partner currently in ICU caused by ruptured brain aneurysm and hydrocephalus. In God's grace hoping and praying for miracle.

On Dec 19th, my husband had a brain aneurysm and he passed away on Dec 21. He stopped breathing on the way to the hospital and they had to intubate him. I think that he was gone then, but I gave the ok for the surgeries to stop the bleeding and to relieve pressure on his brain. Those were successful, but unfortunately, his brain herniated when the pressure would subside. After a series of tests, he was declared officially brain dead on Dec 21. He was an organ donor, and his liver and kidneys found donors. I guess I just held onto hope that he'd pull through, but his rupture was in the very worst place it could be, and if he had survived, it would only be in a vegetative state, which is what neither of us wanted. We were together 19 years and he would've been 63 on the 22nd. I'm happy that others were able to survive this devastating occurrence.

Immunizations are the cause of aneurysms!!

[@chrissyybaby1]

@@axoxo9729 hey ! Any chance you may be able to give me some info on this ?? I'd love to read into how immunisations is connected. Im a daughter of an aneurysm survivor and for months we've been questioning what lead up to that rupture and how on earth was this aneurysm there.

We recognize that brain aneurysms are scary and there is a lot more we need to learn about them. For the latest information on the known causes and risk factors, please see our website page here: bafound.org/about-brain-aneurysms/brain-aneurysm-basics/risk-factors/

My mum in hospital right now 😭😭😭, how long take you to recover , please reply

[@andywrynn6215]

My father died of an aneurysm 12/31/2014. I was only 9 at the time. I just miss him so much. He went for surgery for his heart, he had afib, the surgery went through just fine. After the surgery he was not waking up. Me, my bro, and my moms side grandparents drove to Arkansas late on the 29th I think. I just wish that the doctors had looked at him before and after the surgery. I love you dad.

I am a ruptured brain aneurysm survivor and by the grace of God was fortunate to have been discovered by housemates unconscious for 2 days in my room and was brought asap to a nearby hospital where I have to undergo a CT scan and MRI diagnostics, then coiling/stenting procedure,this saved my life but due to weakness in my right side,I have to undergo lengthy sessions of physical therapy ,while I have survived the critical stage of aneurysm,I still experience a weakness in my muscles and have experienced right leg sciatica which has slowed me down.I wish to thank all the surgeons and medical staff of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital of Sydney ,Australia for their skills and expertise and to all the medical staff and physical therapist of the Balmain Rehabilitation Hospital for my physical rehabilitation .God bless you all .With this medical episode,It changed totally my lifestyle and is optimistic that I will be back with my different lifestyle in the near future . Have a healthy lifestyle everyone and don't forget to check your bp and visits to your doctor regularly .

With my mum , it's happened to her bleeding her aneurysm during surgery,it happened to her 1thMay2023،thanksgiving she had no complications ,😭😭😭,nearly 2 months ago. She was in a coma for 8 days ,then she woke up and couldn't move, she only opened her eyes and smiled, she was in ICU for 21 days. Now, after 7 weeks, she can talk a little, and they are doing intensive rehabilitation and physical medicine. She can sit now , she can't eat food at the moment. She forgot anything happened the day before. But that kind of memory comes and goes. She remembered most of the things in the past. Yesterday and today, we talked to her Dr's, and they said she is doing well. The CT scan they had from her Brian the other day , they said, showing the blood draining down. But it will still take a lot of time for her to recover. We have no choice but to support her and be there for her and give her a lot of love and hope to get recovering soon.

I realize how lucky I was. I had an aneurysm rupture and was left with this hemorrhage for four days before I end in hospital and finally got operated. I survived and have little damage.

My Dear, i am still in a recovery and after 6 weeks being discharged from the hospital see my neurologists yesterday and we discussed what they performed and he showed me the pictures of my brain before and after the coiling and stent he explained what they did etc.

My first aneurysm got brust in 2020 so pterional craniotomy and microvascular clipping was done. To prevent brusting of my second aneurysm stent (flow divertor) was implanted in 2022 but after somedays it got blocked and gave me ischemic stroke. Now I have 2 clips in brain's left hemisphere &1 stent in brain's right hemisphere.

Dealing with the same Bs. I'm pushing for a cerebral angiogram since I'm having optic nerve pressure pain, and headaches, that's been going on for 2 weeks now

I’m not a doctor but I survived a ruptured brain aneurysm. The first step would be getting an MRI MRA.

Didn’t know itks brain aneurysm foundation propaganda again. Sent them an email inquring for specialists in my area. Never received an response. Another much smaller foundation responded. Stark experience speaks for itself. It’s all about promoting and money.

[@bentlyorse9623]

I was a victim of ruptured brain aneurysm last 2021. I am still recovering, my body is no longer the same just like before. I hope somebody helps me for a check up for I am afraid that one day I might collapse again and die.
