Hello Madi. I hope you are doing well today? My name is Eddie Price and I am from Wayne County, North Carolina with a 28578 zip code. Would you believe that I had an AVM with a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in the Occipital ( in the Left Posterior (Back of the Head ). This was back in the year of 1978. December 19, 1978 I was 20 years old that year. I went through 8 hours of Surgery on that day. My Neurosurgeon told me and my family that I was a miracle. Plus if I continue to improve that I would be a miracle for sure. Guess what I have been one ever since. Now that was a gift from God. I hope and pray for you the same and even more. Please listen to me you can do anything you want to. Just know your limitations. Please just know your limitations. That's all.

Hi Madison. My son Matthew is 36 and he had a ruptured AVM too this morning. He is in ICU and they aren’t very hopeful. I have hope but I need to be patient and thank you for sharing this because he needs time to heal. I hope he wakes up like you did. He is so loved and too young. Keep kicking butt. God bless you. Sara

Thank you so much. I feel your pain and your gratitude stay strong and keep moving forward

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was at work when my AVM ruptured, I fell broke my jaw and had a seizure. I was airlifted and eventually had radiosurgery.

That's good as hell..how far have you come now?

Storytime? First by the way ❤

i had an avm rupture in 2016 and i've developed really severe ptsd from the whole experience. thank you for sharing your story, i've felt so alone in this and it's nice to see someone else who can relate to my struggles. when you said when you woke up you couldn't talk and all you could do was cry...ouch, i relate so hard. you are a warrior.

I just had one rupture in February while 19 weeks pregnant we both made it thank God 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I am happy you made it 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Hi Madison, i gotta ask, are you hemiplegic after the rupture? If you are, have you regained your movements back especially on your fingers and wrists? I had a rupture in 2016 and im still struggling to move my fingers and wrists on my effected side

I just found in march i have an avm im hopin this surgery in may will cure me

Hey me too,in 2014 To help with memory make sure you keep all your things together at all times. Thats whats helped me with memory

God bless your heart, family, future & your testimony! 🌺

Hi, My name is Amy and I am 24 years old. I also have an AVM! Rare right? Everything you went through I went through. The whole talking, walking, swallowing thing I went through that. It would be very nice to talk to you soon.

Saw your story before and found you here! So thankful to see how much progress you have made! I really think you’ll be a cheerleader again someday, keep making video ❤️

How long did it take for your short term memory to come back somewhat?

How many years ago you had the AVM in this video? I have seen your 4 year old video and you talk much better and faster and thoughts just flow out in this video. You are an inspiration. My brother had a ruptured AVM and it is challenging for him how to talk and remember things. Do you have a memory problem in the past?

Do you sometimes ask for help with some things

How has it been going on

You are an inspiration Madison. How long did it take you to talk? My brother had a ruptured AVM and has an aphasia. He has a problem expressing himself and can talk only few words and not sentences.

I was in a coma for three weeks and i had a ventilator in now i’m still in rehab to try and recover

My AVM ruptured June 6th of this year and I’ve lost all coordination on my left side and sensation on my right side thank you for sharing your story I can’t walk but hopefully I can soon because being pushed in a wheelchair is no fun & my one eye is crossed which is annoying because I see double vision

I tried to send a message on tick Tok but couldn’t. Your an inspiration to all that have suffered from a stoke. When I was younger my grandfather suffered from one as well and was wheelchair ridden. To have the support of family and loved ones is one of the most important things. Don’t listen or read with the trolls are saying. It’s awesome that you are showing others the day to day struggle that you have to go through. So many people don’t know what a stroke is or even the signs or that it can hit you at any age. Love your work and keep it up. 🥰

After my stroke doctors told my mother to terminate life saving efforts that I'd never see walk or talk that I'd be dead in months that was 13 years ago I walk with a limp I drive a Golfcart I see better can talk it just gets difficult getting the words out. And my punctuation is almost nonexistent but its always been that way. So that showed me theres not enough research of strokes in young people so in may of 2022 I'll be leaving on a cross Canada charity ride to raise money for just that

The fact that you survived means you’re meant to be here. Stay strong. You’re extremely beautiful and, YOU ARE NORMAL! A baby will come when it’s time. God Bless you, beautiful woman.

I barely survived a ruptured AVM and a really bad stroke when I was 16. My right side was and still is struggling with a lot of stuff.

Just subbed, about to check out some of your other videos. I think that you deserve way more views! Have you ever heard of SMZeus . c o m??? You could use it to help increase your subscribers!!

Hi Madison: My name is Jonalen Gamis (30 in December 31, 1989) and I live in Richmond, BC. I suffered an aneurysm in January 8, 2019, this year while I was in a restaurant. I was in the ICU for two months and could not move my right side. I was an inpatient, outpatient, and intense rehab program (IRDP) at GF Strong. Now COVID-19, GF Strong work at home, Speech (one on one) and IPad (in group) so far it’s been going great. I walk every day. I used to be on a wheelchair before, then I started to use a cane and now I am slowly getting better without a cane. My right leg and a walking pole and wearing an arm brace using my right arm. I am continuing to work on sounds, comprehension, writing to help with my reading. Texting is hard even though I know what to say. I read your story (TH-cam). Thank you - I know what it’s like, the struggle, long hours, every bone in my body, cried to sleep. It’s worth it. I can talk, speak, write, stand, walk around, run and someday I’ll be back to normal just like you. Don’t give up! Thank you again. ☺️ Sincerely, Jonalen

Great video!! Keep up the good content!! 💚♥️💚♥️

Just had an AVM removed a few months ago. I understand.

Do you know any older people with AVM's? I feel like an alien...

Congratulations! Keep your head up. I have my first appointment with my Neuro's Wednesday. I'm 58 and tripping out. Glad I made it this far. You give me hope! I'm on FB- James Randallthewtf. You probably don't check this anymore, take care you've got the world by the #%lls!!

Thank you for your story. I have a large AVM behind my left eye. I'm 58. Very scared. You are very tuff.

My son had avm rupture and is making a miracle like recovery. Stay strong.

How are you getting on....?

So inspiring, such a lovely girl, you're going to have a wonderful life...:) xx

Go girl...so proud of you..:) xx

Hey just know you're not alone! i had problems with my large pelvic AVM since birth, started bleeding internally and didnt get help until i was 18. left my senior year early for surgery and have never been the same. still have trouble with any sort of bowel function, and im going back for new growths and symptoms as of today. keep in touch! lots of support groups on Facebook and such!

So proud of all your hard work ! Love you

Was scrolling through. Ran into this. And I’m like “hey, I haven’t talked to her in a while” 😂 Stay strong Maddie 🤘🏼 Don’t be a stranger, text me whenever

Mine ruptured when I was working out with marine recruiters. I don’t remember getting a headache or loosing feeling I just remember getting really dizzy and I guess I passed out. I was rushed to the hospital and they performed emergency surgery. Strokes caused me to lose my left peripheral (hopefully temporary, that’s what I’m told anyways) While I was in the hospital doing pt ot and st every time I stood up I’d get dizzy and that’s gone (thankfully) so I can stand up and not get really dizzy. But I also stayed in the hospital for two-ish months. I was lucky enough to only have problems with my peripheral not my speech or any limbs. God was watching out for people like you and me on those days.

I’m truly encouraged by your story Madison.. God bless you and please don’t ever stop inspiring us with your awesome testimonials🙏🏽❤️

Thats all great news! Ive come in contact with your channel looking for people who have experienced the same as me. My AVM ruptured 4 months ago while I was at the gym, I didn't know I was having a stroke but i woke up in a hospital bed 10 days later unable to move my right side.... its been a crazy ride, I'm still recovering... for now I don't have movement on my right hand or wrist, but I know it's coming!

There is a website called www.avmsurvivors.org You can join it and chat with others that have had an AVM. Even show your videos. As for my AVM story I had my AVM rupture way back in 2000 at age 10. Ended up having 4 surgeries done. I’m in great health now but it was one heck of a ride.

Im 23 years old i my avm raptured 2 months agoand i had surgery my left side affected but now i can walk and i can even have shower and wear can i have your fb ?

First Comment YAY!!

I had an AVM rupture in my cerebellum 3 yrs ago that left me in a wheelchair for about 8 mos, but I’m getting stronger everyday!

You should put this video on www.avmsurvivors.org Its a website that I’m on just talking with others that have had similar struggles. There is usually someone that is new on here once a month or so that is dealing with what we have gone through or someone’s family member that is dealing with an AVM and has so many questions about how it effects them.
