Carotid artery dissection

I was recently diagnosed with a carotid artery dissection with total occlusion on the left side. This isn't caused by plaque or anything like that they said basically at some point I've torn my carotid artery and now it's completely blocked. Is there anyone out there who has similar I'd love to get more info x
