Hi everyone. My lower back and leg pains have subsided. I still have daily headaches - but even more bothersome is that I occasionally feel drunk when I walk - or like I'm on a boat that is rocking. I also find that I am clumsy - spilling my coffee - or banging into things. I also feel confused at times - like my mind almost goes blank. Is this normal? My primary doctor didn't have much to say but I do get to follow up with the neurologist later this week. I'm living in almost constant fear that I'm going to have a stroke. I'm going to post a separate thread about symptoms Iwas having prior to the bleed to see if anyone had a similar experience. Thanks for all your support.

Thank you for all the responses and support. My pain has improved over the last couple of days - and now it feels like new symptoms have popped up. I am having a lot of trouble sleeping - I fall asleep and wake up an hour or two later feeling like it's morning already. I am also having terrible night sweats. Now that I am able to get up and move around more with less pain, I am finding it feels like I am drunk - and I know it's not the pain pills because I've only had Tylenol last two days. I also feel deaf in my right ear. I know it's only been a short time but I am so scared and worried i will never feel normal again. I follow up with my primary doctor today. Will be good to get checked out..... thanks again everyone.

Thank you. I appreciate all the advice. Did you ever experience low grade fevers? I had no fevers in the hospital but am getting them on and off now. I guess the fact that I had a 99.9 temperature when I returned to the ER and the doctors didn't seemed concerned is good - it's just that everything is making me nervous. I don't know what's normal and what's not.

Hello. I had my hemorrhage on May 24 - 12 days ago. I spent 8 days in the icu and have been home for 4. I am struggling with my pain control - needing to take fioricet every 4 hours and oxycodone every 6. The neuro doctors told me the pain may spread down my neck and spine which it has. My neck is so stiff I can't bend it forward and my spine aches and spasms. What they didn't mention is if thisbpain can also go down to your "butt" and hips and upper thighs - which mine has. I had this when I left the hospital but thought it was from laying in bed for so many days. It seems to have gotten worse since I've been home. I feel stiff everywhere. Did anyone else have this pain? Is it maybe from nerve irritation from my spine?.....
