Hello,
I have FMD of the carotids and am now going for my second angiogram of all the other arteries. I have had an MRI/MRA of brain and carotids and that was a waste for me ... it showed nothing.But the angio of carotids and dopplers have shown blockage of up to 61%
in the left side and 41% in the right. I have gotten 5 opions so far and none of them have an answer! One from Kenosha Wisconsin said he can perform a surgery on my carotids ,but they can only go as far as the baseline of the skull... my disease is past that point so It's unlikely I will do surgery.I am on 2 B/p meds and one anticoagulant and aspirin therapy for the FMD, and I now take Bextra for the rheumatoid arthritis I have recently been diagnosed with.:D I will have my second angiogram on oct. 8th /03 and hope that this yucky stuff isn't anywhere else!I am an RN by trade and had never heard of this stuff until June of this yr. when my B/P shot up to 242/142 and thats stroke territory! But I came out unharmed and was sent to a cardio guy and thats when we found our lovely FMD! Never had high blood press. in my life! I am 36 yr/old and have three beautiful girls and hope that someone comes up with something quick! My prayers are with you all! God Bless You! Gina;)
