Propranolol

[almostgone]

Also, you should know. Propranolol is not a cardioselective Betablocker - it's a non-selective BB. Meaning it acts equally on both beta1 and beta2 adrenoceptors. Since it acts on Beta2 you may get some airway constriction - which is unlikely to be noticable in day to day life. I've taken it a few times before exams for "situational anxiety" - and I didn't notice anything. That being said, I wasn't doing HIIT either. Just something you might want to think about before you jump on a stairclimber.

Yeah. Sounds like your 2020 has been a peach Samson. It sounds like they treated the AVM with ONYX. The scariest and worst outcome of my career involved a freak histamine reaction to onyx that nobody including the best neurosurgeon in the southeast could've predicted - resulted in a brain trying to swell to the size of a beach ball. If you're wondering if that can happen and the brain stay intact...it can't.

The last 5 years of my life has been spent 40 - 60 hrs week either in Neuro critical care or neurosurgery and the past year in primary care so feel free to pm if you have any questions. Sometimes surgeons tend to look and treat things strictly from an acute care viewpoint while primary care from a chronic care. That transition in care...the hump...can often be lacking. I'm by no means a top neurosurgeon or veteran primary care doc but I've seen a lot of shit and I try to stay up to date on stuff. Anyway...I'm happy to help in any way I can.

I can def PM you also - but, I like keeping all possible health info out in the public eye - maybe someone can use something someday


That is exactly what I had - a AVM Immobilization Procedure, from what I know it is with Onyx. My next neurologist appointment is this week - I have written down a decent set of questions for him/them - I never even met the main neurosurgeon that did the procedure. It was always one of the other surgeons on his team. . . The guys at Barrow Neurological Institute really gave me a lot of hope - they way I seen it from their attitudes is if I made to the procedure - they’ll get it. I asked them & they all answered the same way, before and after the procedure - ending with, you’re one lucky guy. . . 4 hour procedure followed by 2 hours of me going full on nuts on the staff to the point they had to tie me down < I don’t remember it, it didn’t happen. Lol

Why are you yourself in the Neuro unit(again, pm me if you don’t wanna post it up)? Sure is a different world in there - to say the least



The onyx cast seems to have def taken - to me at least, no headache - just odd pains/feelings in the area where they did the work

Main things I heard From my Neuro NP is that it can break or crack before it fully sets within the tissue. So no bending down, no weights - sit & walk. He stated he had a guy come back who had a similar procedure & he picked up his kid’s bike a tad under a month post procedure & heard a snap - then mind numbing pain

Well, I wasn't in neuro as a patient...I worked there. First as a neuro ICU nurse, and now in the operating room. I'm almost finished up with my doctorate as a nurse practitioner. As you might imagine, I have to keep most of my personal info out of the public eye given the nature of this forum. I'm going to try to start being more involved with the forum again now that I'm almost finished with school and life is settling down.

Gotcha, I kinda figured after reading 50-60 hours a week. But, I seen some strange patients(to say the least) in the neuro icu - people are in there for long periods, back & fourth - ugggggh


Well, awesome 4 u man & thank I for doing a good service - that place sure was something

Might as well ask - what else do you know about the “procedure”? I ask everyone educated in the field to try to grasp how this shit will effect my life

I’m still waiting for another neurologist appointment this week - but, I don’t know what to expect. . . I do have some sides, but the 2nd in charge neurosurgeon really broke it down well right before I got discharged. Yet, no one has true certain answers - you “should” is what I get
