  1. Hello, I experienced an SAH on Jan 6th of this year. I was driving home at night when it happened. Unfortunately, I was not in an area I was familiar with so I had to continue driving for a few miles to find a landmark that I could provide to emergency responders. That was a bit terrifying as the headache was so severe as to be disabling and I was afraid that I would lose consciousness. However, the emergency crews found me quickly and the hospital was on top of their game. I had a class three bleed (whatever that means) in a post-communicating artery. They put a drain in my skull that night and did a coiling the first thing the next morning. A day later, I had further coiling of a daughter aneurysm that became evident once the blood began to clear. I consider myself to be quite fortunate as I did not lose any motor function, nor did I suffer from any obvious mental deficiencies. I was monitored in the Neuro ICU for 15 days after the bleed as I had some vasospasms and I experienced cerebral salt wasting. I was then sent to a step down unit for two days and released to home on January 23rd. I was released back to work on February 3rd. The headaches I had experienced since the bleed were controlled by Ibuprofen and the fatigue I had been experiencing had mostly cleared up. I did experience fatigue so severe that there was one day I didn't go to work, but overall, it was not frequent nor severe by this point. It is now two months post-bleed and I no longer have headaches and the fatigue is minor. However, I feel that I may be more irritable or short tempered than I was previously. I asked a close friend if she had noticed any change and she confirmed that I was a bit different than before. So there's that. Again, in my book, that is a minor consequence although it may have impacts at work. I am an IT project manager and patience is a necessity. Also, I have a bald patch from the radiation used for coiling. If anyone experienced similar hair loss and can tell me what to expect in terms of regrowth, I would appreciate the info. I am pleased to have found this group and I look forward to interacting with other members.
