had 1st ruptured aneur jan 09 (in night with paralysis of left side), then 2nd aug 10 - both coiled and in hosp for 2 weeks. 3rd time started to rupture but had option of elective coiling & only 2 days hosp. and was far less stressful than 1st 2 occasions
by this time I'd realised that alcohol was def trigger plus stress from argeuments with partner/ London rush rush/ anger rising inside me.
Now feel that all a waiting game, but in 09/10 was not listening to body's warning signs.
Do hope you get best treatment; found coils quicker & overall less stress (altho fem artery wound sometimes aches); was told could have clipping but declined as it seems such major surgery.
Like many others, feel it is a waiting game ... but you could say that about so many things in life so best to keep a level of reality about anything major like this. Just listen to what your body tells you as a warning, don't let others tell you who/what you are or what you should feel.
