Their diagnosis changed your life, too. Here are four ways to find support while you’re supporting them. 🔖 Save it. Share it with someone who needs it.

A spouse. A teenager. A parent. A neighbor. However you came to caregiving, thank you.

November is Caregiver Appreciation Month. All month, we’re honoring caregivers—their stories, their needs, and the people they are beyond the care they give.

Who is someone you want to thank? Tell us about them in the comments.

“A lung AVM—so why are we talking about my brain?”

It’s a question worth asking. We’re continuing beyond the brain with the lung AVM connection, the role of HHT, and three questions to bring to your care team.

Living with a lung AVM? You belong in our TAAF family, too.

Save this. Share it with your people.

For many people in the TAAF community, the words brain aneurysm or AVM came first. The word stroke may have come much later, or not at all.

When a brain aneurysm or brain AVM ruptures and causes bleeding in or around the brain, that is a hemorrhagic stroke.

You can survive the rupture, treatment, and recovery, find your way into a support group, and still never realize that you are also a stroke survivor.

On World Stroke Day, we want our community to know: your experience belongs in the stroke conversation, too.

Swipe to learn the difference between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Both are strokes. Both are emergencies. If you notice signs of either, call 911 immediately, even if the symptoms go away.

P.S. Today also happens to be National Cat Day. We couldn’t let that coincidence go to waste.

Sometimes, the first word you hear is “aneurysm.” Then comes 3 letters: “AVM.”

For some people, an aneurysm is discovered, or an aneurysm bleeds, and the investigation reveals an AVM, too. During AVM Awareness Month, this connection deserves attention. Understanding aneurysm warning signs matters across our TAAF family.

Whether an aneurysm, an AVM, or someone you love brought you to TAAF, you’re invited to learn with us.

That’s why we’re sharing this free webinar from Weill Cornell Medicine:

When Is a Headache an Emergency?
Monday, November 2 | 9 a.m. Pacific / Noon Eastern
Online via Zoom

Dr. Amol Mehta will discuss brain aneurysm warning signs, when to seek emergency care, and minimally invasive treatments. Submit your questions when you register.

Education is part of how we care for one another. Share this with someone who could use the information.

An AVM doesn’t have to be in your brain to change your life.

Yesterday, the spine. Today, the face and limbs. Different locations. The same need to be understood.

If this is your reality, you belong here. Share this with someone who needs to see beyond the diagnosis.
