  1. Hi guys , firstly ive named myself appropriately as this is what happened BOOM. My story is simply a case of having a sudden onset of a sore head originating from the back of my neck and up onto my crown and then towards my eyes, this was followed by severe sweating and vision and cognitive impairment whilst driving home from the scottish highlands to on march 7th 2014. I courageously or stupidly managed to drive 40+ miles and admit myself into hospital, as I had no phone signal and absolutely no way of getting help as the highlands are desolate. Anyway once admitted to hospital on the Friday night I was being physically sick and couldn't open my eyes or function. The doctors in A&E quickly responded and had me diagnosed within" A SMALL BLEED ON YOUR BRAUN SIR" . After a Ct or MRI , can't remember tbh. after that I was in all weekend and finally discharged myself on the Monday morning. I followed up with the hospital as an outpatient and was further diagnosed with an ANEURYSM, then after that was ruled out it was an AVF then an AVM and finally after 12-18 months it was or I was offered no explanation other than a freak accident. ( So in other words they don't have a clue, and by not correcting anything, i've been living in constant fear for years now,just awaiting the big one which allegedly follows the SMALL LEAK in over 40-60% of leaks) BEHAVIOUR Now 3½ later I realise that I have changed dramatically in the way I behave and decided to look online and came across this site. Now following the incident I remained out of work for 3 years as I drove and iam a hands on mechanical engineer/fitter required to fix and operate heavy machinery in responsible situations, and only just returned to a minimum wage unskilled job in May 17 ,this year. Now I'm wondering if anyone can help with my overall behavior as I have become very 1. Forgetful long and short memory issues. 2 . Confidence and self esteem has left the building 3.. No bearing in or on where my life is going 4. Very anxious and uncomfortable in social situations 5. Feel as though the old me died 4 years ago 6. Have stopped going out as I no longer drink alcohol as a result.. anyway guys that's where I'm at in my journey and after my last contrast cerebral angiogram via the artery in my leg, I was given the all clear , as that's the gold standard test. I have only just started to try and live again by returning to work but I'm finding silly things extremely hard, like making friends and having a laugh. Holding a conversation is hard ad my mind zones out after 3 0 secs of someone speaking. so guys I'm looking to see if anyone else has felt this way and if anyone else has had these lerp impairments. If so what have you done, has it helped and finally had anyone had a second bleed after a small one . If so what age and how long between bleeds?v For me it was age 34 when this occurred and IM now 37', thanks guys . I will read other stories and join in tomorrow, but need to know to sleep. Take care
  2. hi guys, my name is boom and I thought id introduce myself and hopefully get acquainted with everyone. I'm hoping to share my experience and I'm hoping that there are people who have had the same experience and that reside in the UK .. Sorry not hoping or wishing a SAH on anyone
