hi..... I've been reading through the post.....although i probably missed a few......i think i have an AVI sort of thing .Its full name is a cavernous cerebral haemangeoma...looks like i've had multiple strokes.....brain damage....very little co ordination.....next to no balance (am permanently in a wheelchair)...lacking in motor skills,dysphagia (i have a PEG fitted) and dysarthria.........to name but a few problems but i'm lucky enough to have the love and support of a very special husband and a very patient son. So this is me in a nutshell. I am looking forward to becoming part of the community and making new friends.
this is me.....: hi..... I've been reading through... - Headway

Hi Dinkylimpet. Welcome to the site. I'm sure you will find much friendship and support here from people affected likewise. It sounds as if you have a very supportive family but sometimes it helps to talk to outsiders as well. I have an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) which is a congenital problem. I don't contribute to all the posts I see, but do try to visit the site every few days. Take care. Lulu
