FMD
Most patients with FMD have renal stenosis. In my case, I have bilateral carotid stenosis- 100% stenosis on the right and 80% on the left, both vetebrals are also effected at 25%. It took the medical staff 2 wks to diagnose this disease, in the process I developed 2 cerebral hemorrhage and scattered infacts throughout my brain. I truly believe stroke patients are afflicted with this disease, but have gone undiagnosed due to the lack of information. Why FMD was never suspected in a previously healthy adult with complains of headaches, nausea, vomiting and neck pain when the lumbar tap revealed minimal cells?? I am interested in this study as all FMD patients are high risk for strokes and aneurysms.

When I read post like yours, I get so upset that the research articles out there down plays this disease so badly as an incidental finding that usually causes no problems. Thank you for sharing it reminds me that I am at risk for stroke just by having this disease. I have a 70% blockage in left and 50% in right internal carotid arteries from FMD. I also have FMD in my right vertbral artery. My left vertbral is just small and doen't carry a lot of blood.
