00:00 She has a beautiful face, a beautiful body, and a thick skin.
00:06 It's said that Aiko is often mistaken for an artist.
00:09 In college, I was always drinking, always partying, and I used to do gym.
00:17 That's why her world collapsed when she gained a lot.
00:23 I ate almost everything so I wouldn't gain weight.
00:28 But the problem is, despite her weight, she's not allowed to eat papaya.
00:33 The doctor told me that I'm not allowed to be too happy, to cry, or to be too emotional.
00:41 I used to play volleyball but I stopped because when I get tired, I get a headache.
00:48 The reason for her weight gain is a side effect of her medication in the initial condition.
00:57 It's often a severe headache.
00:59 It's not just a headache, it's really painful.
01:04 There's a point where I hit my head on my shoes and it hurts so much.
01:09 It's really painful.
01:12 What is her condition?
01:14 Is it possible for anyone to experience this?
01:17 Watch out for later.
01:24 From 48 kilos, Aiko is now 56 kilos.
01:28 Her headache is how she's going to lose weight.
01:32 It's hard for you to sleep. You can't sleep at night.
01:36 You're irritable.
01:38 Your feet will get numb.
01:41 In 2013, Aiko was diagnosed with brain AVM or arteriovenous malformation.
01:52 In normal development, there should be capillaries between the arteries and the veins.
01:59 But in people with AVM, it's not normal to develop it.
02:04 That's why those capillaries disappear.
02:07 The blood then flows from the arteries' high pressure to the veins.
02:17 That's what causes entanglement or network of vessels that look like worms.
02:26 I was afraid of having it operated because I thought I was going to die.
02:32 I thought of it that way.
02:34 AVM is rare.
02:37 Only a few people have that kind of pain.
02:42 It's a severe headache and it's a quick exhaustion.
02:47 It started in 2013.
02:51 My head always hurts and I get headaches.
02:55 Aiko's AVM can be seen in the occipital area of her brain.
03:01 It's silent compared to other parts of our brain.
03:06 The most affected area is the vision.
03:12 But in terms of strength, the vision is not affected.
03:19 And frequent headaches.
03:22 Complications will depend on if the AVM is bleeding.
03:31 The headache is not just a headache. It's a severe headache.
03:36 I would even hit my head on my father's head.
03:39 It's a severe headache.
03:42 Usually, pain medications are not relieved.
03:46 It will depend on the location of the AVM.
03:54 And also, the size of the AVM and the signs and symptoms that will be associated with it.
04:03 Like a weakening of one side of the body or a fullness of one side of the body.
04:10 She doesn't take medication.
04:13 It doesn't affect her even if she takes pain reliever.
04:17 I had to get a CT scan because they said that it's just a vision.
04:23 I saw an AVM and abnormal veins that were bleeding.
04:29 I was told that I needed to have an operation.
04:31 At that time, Aiko's parents didn't allow her to have an operation.
04:36 The chance of her success in the operation is 50-50.
04:41 I was treated for several years with pain reliever.
04:47 I was always in a mental state.
04:52 If she can't handle it, the AVM can cause a stroke.
04:57 A stroke can cause signs of stroke.
05:02 Like a weakening of one side of the body, a frowning face, a lump, a blurry vision, and a loss of balance.
05:12 Until now, her family has thought that she has undergone laser radiation.
05:21 We found out that she doesn't need an operation.
05:26 She can have a laser surgery.
05:28 But the treatment is only 3-5 years.
05:31 Radiation surgery is the use of radiation to reduce the AVM and close the abnormal veins.
05:45 Based on studies, the effectiveness of radiation surgery ranges from 50-90%.
05:52 But it still depends on the size of the AVM.
05:57 She started laser radiation treatment in 2022.
06:03 I was afraid of radiation surgery because I thought it will put a steel on my face.
06:13 I thought it will put a tornillo on my face.
06:15 But it was just a mask.
06:17 It was painless.
06:20 You will not feel anything.
06:22 You will be inside the machine for 15 minutes.
06:25 After that, I will be given steroids for 1 month and 2 weeks.
06:32 Because of the steroids, Aiko eats a lot.
06:37 I eat a lot.
06:39 I'm always hungry.
06:42 I eat even in the early morning.
06:44 I will have a moon phase.
06:46 Now, I'm less hungry.
06:48 I used to have a lot of appetite when I was on steroids.
06:52 Steroids help to reduce headaches.
06:56 It can temporarily reduce the neurological problem.
07:03 But steroids have side effects.
07:09 It can increase the strength of the body.
07:12 Because it is a stress hormone.
07:14 Like cortisol.
07:16 While she is under medication, Aiko is not allowed to eat a lot.
07:21 The doctor's important advice is to have a healthier lifestyle.
07:25 I will eat healthy food because I want to get back to my old body.
07:31 I will not do heavy exercise.
07:37 I will eat healthy.
07:39 The most common is congenital.
07:42 During the developmental stage, it is already acquired.
07:48 It is already there.
07:50 When we get older, our blood vessels become atherosclerotic.
08:00 Because of the deposition of cholesterol.
08:05 According to the doctor, this condition has a solution.
08:07 You just need to follow their advice.
08:10 A healthy lifestyle is important.
08:15 Control of blood pressure, avoid smoking, and do yoga.
08:20 Exercise at least 30 minutes a day.
08:24 Walking, and of course, sleep and eat well.
08:30 Do not be afraid.
08:32 There are many options that physicians and doctors will give.
08:39 They have options to tell them what to do.
08:44 Do not ignore the simple headache.
08:49 If you do not take care of it, the medicine will be more painful.
08:54 And it will bring more problems to our health.
08:58 Thank you.
