Any of you characters know anything about aneurysms?

I'm no doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I'll look. I'm trying to learn if someone who has been treated for aneurysms in the past can develop them again, and if so, what the likelihood is?

Update: I looked at the website, but it didn't go into anything that would answer the question above. Yup, WebMD, here I come ...

There were a couple of them inside my skull back in 1994. They were treated and resolved back then without complication. Subsequent examinations confirmed this. End of story.

For whatever reason, I'm just curious as to whether I am more susceptible to the development of more simply because I've had them previously? Do I have any reason to think I have more? No. Fact is, I'm just curious.

As far as getting together with a doctor regarding this, I simply don't think tying up a doctor's time to have this question addressed is worthwhile. And, because those who treated me back in 1994 are not longer with us (they passed away), I don't want some nosy local sawbones looking at this as a means to pay for a new swimming pool in his backyard.

Well, if you're prone, you're prone, no? Aging won't help but lifestyle changes and good treatment might. Not that it's any of my business, but are there other conditions at play here--medical or physical--that increase risk?

I know there are things I do that probably aren't in the best interests of my overall health, but these are choices I make for myself. Many of the symptoms of aneurysms are such they cannot be detected by one's self. However, a few are and I'll learn more as time passes. There again, it's important to me to learn whether I'm more prone to the redevelopment of aneurytic conditions simply because I've had them in the past.

You mean one of those theoretical, yet-to-be-observed, ultra-rare "zippers" where a vessel splits almost the entire length of one's body? [/quote]

Err, uhm .... yeah, like that.

Does that mean I would be "open" to suggestion?
