Hi Snooty, Every time I get a pain in head I wonder if it is another SAH. I think if you are worried get advice as stress is bad for us, Good luck and let us know how things are going xx All the Best Win xxxx

You Lucky people, Ha ha I have creases everywhere nowdays We could always blame the people who pierced our ears Karen !! hmmm. But right about the weight xxx lol Be well All and anymore with creases do inform us all xxxx My eyesight has got so bad I wouldn't see it lol xxx Love to All xxxxxxxxxxxxx I'll let Snooty work out percentages xxxx

Clara, If ever worried see Doc as Stress is bad for us and better to be safe than sorry xx Better to be a nuisance as it is all new to us and we do not know what's going on in our head. I had a bloodshot eye and went to hospital, and when my nose bleeds I think "Uh oh Win" Come running to BTG and tell them my problems and feel better just for sharing it xxx Listen to Clare as it is not worth stressing about xx Good luck Win xxx Oh and welcome to BTG xxx

My ear lobes have become longer and well creases at my age is a must.. My left ear was pierced twice as he messed up the first time, put it down to that lol. Hmm interesting xxx Thanks Snooty and Karen xxx Better stop blaming the ear guy after all these years ha ha

Hi Taka, I was scared when I awoke and found out what happened to me, my Daughter found this site, while I was in hospital. I must admit I was so glad to be alive but it does knock you back a bit. Before on this site I doubted if I would live long, but then I spoke to people who had SAH and they could smile and laugh. In turn I started to say to myself "There is a life after SAH Win" and the best thing I have done is come on here. (I talk to myself ha ) BTG people know why I have the hump one day and need a rant as they have been there. If ever your worried come on here as a trouble shared is a trouble halved xx Baby time for you, Let you get back to them xxx Be well xxx Oh and as my surgeon said No Stress xx

Put mind at ease and see another Doc if possible or ring them and tell them you are worried. Even if it's a bad migraine at least you wont have it hanging over you xx You must be worried and stress doesn't help so ask for a 2nd opinion and say "Can you assure me it isn't a bleed etc etc . Off you go and put mind at ease one way or another or you'll stress all weekend about it . Sorry for being Bossy but better to be safe than sorry xxxx Good luck Kiwi and Hi Eileen xxxx

There is loads on here Julie and they will be here soon xx Good to know we aren't alone and when on a downer come into Green room were we type our general chit chat or let off steam xxx Many a time I have left here laughing. (little things please little minds ) xx Be well Win xxxxx

Hi Jen, This site is good, helped my Daughter and now me xx I had the same as you but lucky for me I remember nothing about it due to Hydrocephalus. I get the buzzing echo sounds and like a buzzing or holding a shell up to ear and then other noises think it must be part of our brain getting its own back lol Make the most of healing as when you get better they forget what you have been through and it's nice to be spoilt lol Wishing you all the best Regards Winb143 alias Win ... Singing helps me but not my family xxxx

Hi Julie, I had an SAH/Bleed and I do not remember what was going on. I had a shunt put in a year later and woke up from cuckoo land. You are not alone and this site is a God send as we have all been there without the wait you had. !! My short term memory is awful lol but I sing a lot and it cheers my Family up (Not !! ) ha I knew I was getting better as hubby and Daughter were so good to me, now they moan more ha ha I will wish you well and as I tell everyone, My Surgeon told me" No Stress" it is bad for us, that's where the singing comes in xx Hope you feel better but it is a long haul, take it easy and again No Stress xxxx Regards Winb143 xxxxx Sunglasses help I wear them even when it is rainy lol xx

Shobs, You have been strong so please hang on in there xx When they suggested me having a shunt put in my hubby was so scared for me as I had bad Hydrocephalus and was always in cuckoo land. My hubby rang Surgeons male nurse up and said he is worried about it. The nurse then told the Surgeon who rang hubby up and said "if it was my wife I'd let her have a shunt put in" Hubby gave the go ahead and I went in on Thursday I think ?? and had it done Friday and was home by Saturday saying hello to my dogs who I'd not spoken to for an age. So just take their lead, and Good luck to you and hubby for the 16th onward xx Let us know how he gets on xxxx Remember no stress xxxx xxxx

No need for stress now Sonia xx Glad you went as it has put mind at ease and we do not need worry Be Well WinB143 xxxx

Hi Mandie, I get like that sometimes, today I had a lay in as not feeling 100% and Daughter is so good to me. I have become a grouch as I cannot take tales of woe, (not yours) but to hear them when eyes have just opened Arghhhh lol We all get Days like this, even had a go at hubby today and that isn't me (Yes it is Win) ha ha Who said that !!! ha ha When down I think of a happy song and start singing it or remembering good times to cheer me up. Stress is bad for us my Surgeon said. So now and again get ready meals for off Days, Wishing you happy thoughts and hope you feel better xxx Love Win xxxx Cheer up xxxxxxxx now a smile if possible xxxx

Thank you Maeve, If ever on a downer pop in anytime and good luck to you and your family xxxx

Hi, He is scared bless him xx as I would have been if I was awake. Tell him he doesn't want it to turn to anything serious as Daffs and myself had, so ask him for your sake to see Doc at least. I was out of it for quite a while and remember nothing, put my Family through it. No ones fault but it happens and ignoring it will make him worry and my surgeon said stress is bad for us. Hope he gets better soon but do not be afraid tell him xxx Good luck to you both xxxx Win xxxxx See Doc Partner or I'll start singing xxxx !!

Hi Maeve, When I had my SAH I saw my Mum but she wouldn't talk to me, maybe a dream, but I like to think my time wasn't up and she was not making me welcome lol xx My Dad got told off for singing with me and my brother by my Mum. All had passed on xx Surgeon told me stress is bad for us so I sing when on a downer. It keeps the stress away xx All what the others have put I agree with. I was cooking a curry on a Friday and had been feeling rough/tired all day. Hubby came home early and I passed out. ?? Awoke when shunt went in head to stop hydrocephalus. My Daughter has migraines and since my SAH I was worried for her but she had a scan and her brain is in good nick, phew xx Hope you and sister keep bright when possible, as your Mum wouldn't want you to worry about her xxxx Good luck to you Winb143 xxxxx

Wishing all of you well in recovery and do not overdo it xxxx Listen to your body and brain when tired xxxx Good luck All xxxxxxxxxx This site is a Godsend xxxx

Elaine, Try not to Stress as my Surgeon said it is bad for us, I might have told you this already, I had no option but to have a shunt put in after getting Ventriculitis. You will get better and if you feel stressed, keep calm and remain happy. Easier said than done. I have ways of making myself happy I go back years and think of times I laughed until I cried with hysterics. Also I sing happy songs annoys the Hubby but keeps me stress free and then we both laugh ( albeit 1 am in the morning) !! See smiling at what I typed xxx Good luck with your recovery and stay happy when possible xxxx Never give up xxx

Hi Kathie, I had an SAH and I get tired a lot xx nature of the beast I guess. Never give up as we have all had down days and days where we are so tired we cannot do much. It gets better as the years go on so listen to your brain/body and take it slower xx Not nice that we get shattered quicker than before xx My short term memory is bad now days xx but I am an oldun ha ha xx You are in early days of recovery so take your time and pace self xx This site is a good place to come as it has helped my Daughter when I was in cuckoo land and now me. We are not alone xxxx keep going and try and manage a smile when poss xxxxx Good luck to you Winb143 xxx

And sing Miss Daffs and Mary xx Stress I was told is a no no by surgeon, so I sing upsets hubby but he is getting used to it xxxx

Hiya Kirsti, This site is good for sharing a worry or just giving vent. Glad you are well ish !! and it never ruptured. I agree with the others keep drinking water and when you feel sorry for yourself come on here and let off some steam. You keep in touch and try to manage a song or laughter as I swear that is what got me through it xxxx Good luck and remember you are not alone. Been there sung a song and managed a smile xxx Cheers Win xxxx

Linda, A lot of us get a buzzing noise or like holding a shell up to our ear as we did when kids, do not know how else to explain it. And the thundery weather makes it worse, my head feels like it is extra heavy (No not a big head) Tinnitus some get, and I have noticed since my SAH op I do get waxy ears ..sorry if anyone was eating while reading this xx Good luck Linda Win xxxx

Also Linda (She says remembering headaches) Some of us get headaches and especially in thundery weather when the pressure gets to our heads. Remember we are a lucky lot as we survived Yeahhhh!! So anytime you are down just come on here and there is always someone who has gone through the same. Hope to hear more from you and progress albeit slow or fast xxx Regards Win xxxx

My Daughter has not had an SAH but she gets Panic attacks and my next door neighbour gets them since his heart scare. Ambulance came and said his heart was working okay but he got so worked up he thought it was another heart thing (The mind throws you on a wobbly lol) I saw him and told him "Here is the answer Alan" and gave him a bottle of water and a packet of mints. Mints to moisten mouth and water so you can swallow. After we have something as major as we have had it scares us and our body is off kilt. See Doc and put mind at ease and keep away from Google as I went there and it was "Uh Oh Win". Scared the life out of me but came on here saw people living and laughing and having a giggle and I knew this was the place for me. Apart from my singing lol xxx Good luck Rosie xxx no stress and calm is order of the day xx easy for me to say xxxx Listen to Skippy xxx
