Louise

Hi there Welcome to the site. Think a lot of us agree about the bandage thing :? Really surprised me what your doctor said to you of all people yes you can be any age there's no limit on it. Hope to hear from you again soon. Louise.

Hi there And welcome to the site Hellie. Think I was one of the lucky ones because it was the quick thinking ambulance men that saved my life & got me to the right hospital. However I do know what its like on the mis-diagnosis front Ronnie's cousin was mis-diagnosed then when finally they realised the CT scanner was broken so have the otherside of the coin too. Take care Louise.

Hi there I was told that the SAH Brain Haemorrhage was a kind of stroke, sometimes body like very much so. Louise.x

Hi there And Welcome to the site. A belated Happy Birthday to you too hope you had a great day. Louise.x

Great news Keith.... Louise.x

Hi Hannah Sorry to hear about your Mum, up's & down's I've got a shunt, sorry I cant tell you anything about the experience I knew nothing about it, its just part of me now (no pun intended) no, no precautions maybe though I just watch that I dont hit my head a bit more but then who dosnt Hope you let us know how she gets on, take care of yourself Louise.xx

Hi there Welcome to the site & I can only go with what Karen, Keith & Sami have said, the what if's fade in time & that just what it all takes is time 13 March isnt that long ago at all, its such an emotional thing to have been through its no wonder our emotions are thown into turnmoil. Its a rollacoaster but it improves.... Take care Louise.x

Hi Hannah Nice to hear from you updating us, I guess your Mum trying to push the boundaries is she is getting a lot better. Knowing what my husband went through with me I’d say that it is ****** hard work being the carer so don’t beat yourself up about it, like everything it will take time & pass, sometimes I used to set myself little goals maybe this is your Mum’s one? Wanting a weekend away maybe that could be the goal in the summer when she’s finally out, Ronnie took me out for a meal the night I was discharged I’d moaned & moaned about it, it shattered me something terrible but it was kind of like being normal again……….. Take care sending hugs Louise.xx

Hi Bob Yes my sleep pattern goes off a lot of the time, sleeping during the day was the wrong thing for me to do once I stopped that it got better. Sorry not much help. Take care Louise.

Hi Jane Welcome to the site. Gosh you've been through a lot I found that from the SAH grew determination that I never had before. Today can be hellish dosnt mean tomorrow will be. I know a few people with MS I think the SAH, ME, MS have very similar things, memory & tiredness for one. Hope to hear from you again soon Take care Louise.x

Hi In a nut shell YES Mind you was never a strong point as you may have realized Really bad - Terrible, awful, when I look at my writing when I was just out of hospital its like when I was at school but it has got better & like everything not when I'm tired. Louise.xx

Hi there I was told if I had any problems just to go to A&E tell them what happened & yep red carpet all the way who cares about all the stare's you got your Dad did the right thing. take care Louise.

Hi Sue I got referred to Cruse councelling for me it was really good. My Dad passed away when I was just a year into my recovery it put me back to the begining, but with the help of the councelling it was better. And walkings good that's about all I can muster..... Louise.x

Aine I'll second what Keith says, he's just got a better way of putting it than me. hugs 4 the bubbles Louise.x

Hi there I would say that its very normal for what you've been through it takes a long time to get over something so dramatic. fatigue, for me is something that the SAH has left me with lots off, talk it over with the doc, but sometimes time is the best meds. Take care Louise.x

Hey Keith That was the 3rd tablet for me too Amlodipine difference is the first was Antenolol. I've not been on a diet but I have stopped eating crisps what a difference, my insentive is I'm going to a wedding.. Louise.

I'll watch this space with interest...... L.xxx

Hey Karen The best person to know how you feel is YOU you guessed all along what might lie at the back of your recovery. I'm now wondering about the anti seisure drug I was on a couple of years ago I fractured my foot in a silly accident shouldnt really have caused a fracture & various other little things now you've got me wondering Hmm?? I'm glad things are on the up for you Karen..... Louise.xx

Hi Teresa Welcome to the site hope to hear from you soon. Take care Louise.

Hi Sarah Welcome to the site nice to hear from you think Karen & Sami have said it all glad you got the courage up to join in. Take care Louise.x

Hi there Yes great news about your Mum my goodness I thought my family was bad.... big hugs Louise.x

Ooops I made the whole thing a quote - sorry didnt mean that.... xxx

Hi there Been there too

Hi Sarah Yes eventually it did, I Googled to see if I could find out what to eat to help the BP, I dont do it all the time but handy to know, basic veg, fruit, rice, pulses ect..... Its worse in the summer if its hot I have to say, but I found like the SAH different people different affects now why wasnt I surprised at that... Louise.

Hi there Yes I know what you mean about going to the loo on Bendro (too long a word) I can tell too when the BP goes up if affects my feet anckles when I was first put on them the weight ballooned but that changed after a while thankfully dosnt help it was a heatwave of a summer we were having Louise.
