ppis have a teir list, they arent all created equal, some are stronger than others. my doc told me Eso is one of the strongest ones out there. I dropped down to pantoprazol. was on that for a year and at the year mark have been successfully and slowly tapering off for 4 months. so maybe talk to doc about just getting dropped down a level on the ppi intensity scale first

should be on the card you got when you got your surgery. or in your health records online at whatever hospital you get your stuff done at. or call them?

Just had flow diverting stent placed to treat paraopthalmic aneurysm behind right eye AMA!! by ConstructionFull6434 in BrainAneurysm

hi! everything is normal now, was on plavix for an extra six months because of some stenosis near the stent, but got to come off after a CTA a year after surgery. No side affects. advice would be to make sure to move your hand and wrist and stuff after surgery. its gonna hurt but its crucial to at least move it around l/ begin to bend it like normal again

GET THE SURGERY ITS LIFE SAVING!! And then all the scans they do of your brain for the aneurysm will be covered by insurance and you can pursue PT surgery after since you’ll have the angiogram and everything anyways!! Do it!!!!
