Brain Aneurysm Foundation Support Community

Brain Aneurysm Online Support Community

The purpose of the Brain Aneurysm Support Community is to provide a forum for patients and their families affected by brain aneurysms to find support and share information online. The new online support community for those affected by brain aneurysms at www.bafsupport.org continues to grow. It’s a great place to share joys and concerns. The forum section allows members to ask questions or start a discussion about topics of interest to brain aneurysm survivors, their caretakers, and those who have lost someone to a brain aneurysm. Others choose to use the blog section to share their stories, their worries, and find comfort from others in the community. Some have formed their own groups: Living with an Aneurysm and Aneurysm and Migraines. Many members have posted photos of loved ones or of survivors enjoying life and family times.

The Brain Aneurysm Foundation has started a new Ask the Doctor forum within the support community, where neurosurgeons and nurse practioners from our Medical Advisory Board are answering members questions.
