Hi all...This was the week of my SAH 7 years ago...the days of that week seem so blurry to me even 7 years later. I had my SAH and only spent a few days in the hospital. I was good, thunder struck but no physical issues...then less than 48 hours after getting home, the worst thing happened to me, I had a severe vasospasm... I was alone, I wasn't even aware it was a possibility, so terribly scary for me and transported by ambulance to a big neuro center in Boston...long story short 7 days in neuro ICU 2 weeks in rehab and lots of PT afterwards, but I survived. I am really good considering, only some balance issues and some vertigo. The emotional toll was big but I am good. Enjoying my life, seen grandbabies born, son get married and 7 more years with my hubby...oh yes I am good and thankful. This site has been a God send to me. First you know what I am talking about haha...Just love you all and what you do to help others, made such a difference for me. Thank you all... xx Jean

Congratulations on your seventh anniversary. You seem to have had a lot of enjoyment with your family recently, hope you have many years to come. Look after yourself and don’t let the grandchildren tire you out too much. Clive ,

Congratulations on your 7th anni-versary. Keep enjoying life & family xx

Welcome to BTG I am noise intolerant and hate crowded places. Ear plugs are a good idea if you go anywhere noisy. I avoid crowded areas like the plague even going to the supermarket when I know it will be less packed and quieter. On saying that, 3 months is very early in your recovery, so you need to be taking baby steps to avoid taking backward steps. Anxiety is very common after a SAH. If that is really causing you a problem, it would be wise to see your GP and ask for counselling. As for the gym, take medical advice as to when it would be possible to return to that activity.

Thanks for your post Jean. Congratulations seven years on. You certainly had a rough start to this SAH journey. It's been a pleasure to keep in touch with your recovery since you joined BTG. You obviously are over the moon with your 'expanding' family. Seeing these kiddies grow can be such a boon more so when trying to recalibrate life post SAH. Great to have all your news from your side of 'the Pond' 😊 Keep positive and so thankful you have been able to enjoy all these precious moments with your family. Subs

Congraulations lovely lady on your 7 year SAH Anniversary So glad you survived and enjoying life and doing well Jean xx Thank you so much for all your caring helpful support you give to others, we love you too xx Hope you can celebrate with your gorgeous family. Here's to many more Anniversaries Take care Love Tina xx

Welcome..As Super Mario said 3 months is really early into your recovery. I know it is hard to be patient but brains heal slowly. I too had problems with crowded places...I think for me it also involved and still does the fear of being bumped into as my balance is not what it was. I work around it best I can and find I am able to do pretty much everything I did before. I had anxiety after and found seeing a counselor helped me but time has also helped. Go slow and steady, be gentle with yourself. xx Jean

Hey everyone I have the same issue, its been 3 months only since my SAH and I miss getting back into the gym, my problem is that I can not stand crowded places anymore or too much background noise. Does anyone have a similar issue? also anxiety its been nagging me more often now. Thank you for reading my post!
