Hello all! I hope that you are all feeling well! I am happy to report that my one year anniversary is coming up this Wednesday! I was wondering if anyone else took the time to celebrate or commemorate this event? I am planning to return to the place where it happened- I have not been back there since my SAH happened. Any ideas are gratefully accepted! On another note, for those of you who are recovering, it is really about the year mark when you start to feel slightly more "normal" (If that is ever truly possible.) I am back at work, being a full time Dad, and completed an 111 mile charity bike ride this summer. I have bad stretches like everyone else, but it has reached a point where I am not so frustrated and saddened by lack o progress. Hang in there, be positive, the best is yet to come! Noah

Welcome! this is such a wonderful place for your questions and concerns. The members are all so supportive. Hopefully you will find solace in confiding in the group. I know I did. Best, Noah

Hi! I have the same issue with headaches. I am about 4 1/2 months out from my SAH. The head discomfort limits my ability to "sleep in" when I get the chance. I can deal during the day, but really bright lights, flickering images on TV, etc. really make me things worse. At night, the veil drops and the dull aches sets in. Over time, though, the pain is less, and feels much more dull. I get the occasional throb through an eye into my brain stem area, but it does become much more manageable. I hope this helps a bit. It is hard to be patient, but you seem to be doing very well! Best, Noah

Hello - hope you are all well! I am approaching four months into recovery, and the results, while good for the first month, are now reaching a type of backslide. I have not had any noticable improvements for the last month or so, and I am a bit discouraged. My question is for those who have a had a bit more time to recover. How did the recovery go? Timeframe? Any stories, information, or results you can share would be most appreciated! For the time being, I'm going to keep smiling! Cheers, Noah

Hi Everyone! The is pretty severe in in Vermont, and I have a hard time warming up. My head suffers more than anything else. Just the dull veil of achy, crummy feelings. But, pushing through and layering up has allowed me to take my boys skiing regardless! I am still, however, a spring hopeful. Best, Noah

I feel like a human barometer! Does anyone else experience headache pressure, general malaise, and an overall "bad day" when the clouds roll in? Every time the air pressure drops due to storms, clouds, etc. I end up feeling like garbage. I actually enjoy rain and snow storms for the most part. So, my physical manifestations seem strange.
