Hi Beth What an awful time you had. The national health service is fantastic in so many ways but so incredibly frustrating and worrying in lots of others. A real dichotomy....So sorry you had such a worrying and horrible time. Hopefully it will all be sorted soon which doesn't help you right now, I know. I think I may have told you but I had a ruptured berry aneurysm clipped and then, 12 months later (last October), had a second berry aneurysm, unruptured, clipped. They found the second one whilst scanning me post-SAH but wouldn't do both at once. Sending you loads of love, hugs and thinking of you. Sarah xx

Hi Graham I have 2 titanium clips and my neurosurgeon says there is no problem with having scans of any type in the future. Apparently, according to my NS, clips that were put in over about 10 years ago would be affected by MRIs etc. (didn't ask him how) but modern clips, in the main, should not be affected by or affect anything. Hope this helps. Sarah

Hi Anne I had an SAH on the right communicating artery which was clipped and was diagnosed as they found the SAH with a second, unruptured, annie on the left CA. I had that clipped one year later (last October). I really feel for you as it is not easy knowing that there's a second little blighter there. Wishing you all the best Sarah xx

Hi Terry Welcome to this wonderful site, glad you found us. Behind The Gray is populated by the most kind, generous, loving people you could ever hope to meet all of whom have experience of SAH so we can all share what we're going through/have gone through which helps much more than anyone can imagine. What you're feeling right now, ie seemingly worse than the early days, is absolutely normal and I think most of us have experienced exactly the same. It's a real rollercoaster ride but you'll find you're not alone. Looking forward to seeing you here again. Sarah xx

Hi Lilnan Glad you found us, welcome! What you're doing for your mum is truly inspirational and I look forward to seeing you here loads. Lots of love Sarah xx

hee hee! I like that one and will try and remember it! Thanks Keith xx

Hi there Like most of the others when I'm tired I get dizzy and my walking is affected. I tend to trip up at these times. Other than that, though, generally ok. Sasbo xx

Hi Elaine Great news for you and Maggie. Glad all is progressing and good luck for next week's appointment. Sarah xx

Hi Well done on going back to work. Enjoy but listen to your body and don't overdo it! Sarah x

Hi Prue I had my SAH 25th September 2006 - we share an SAH Day!! Don't worry about your party, you'll know when you're ready for it but the great thing is you're here to have that party! Sarah xx

OK, I'll ask....Keith, what's GYIF? TTFN Sas xx (giving my age away now!!)

Great news, Dee and Tina Hope you're settling in well back at home and feeling ok Lots of love xx

Hello! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARON'S MUM Hope you've had a lovely day together. Lots of love Sarah x

Hi Derek Would love to listen to your podcast. Since my SAH my iPod and I have been constant companions, never go anywhere without it! Got all sorts, a real eclectic mix of music, podcasts and audio books on it; I find it really helpful because of not being able to cope too well with background, particularly echoey, noise when out shopping or in busy places so I just plug in the earphones and, hey presto, no worries! Please can you let me know how I can download/upload (always get these two mixed up!) your podcast. Thanks Sarah x

Hi Derek Glad you found BTG and welcome! Great place for support, friendship and, believe it or not, fun (sense of humour is very useful in our situation, don't you think!) Everyone here's great and all understand what we're going through as we're all in the same boat. Looking forward to seeing you in here lots. Sarah xx

Hi Tina Glad there's a diagnosis for Dee at last and hopefully this will move things forward for you both. Send him our best wishes and to you too - enjoy the red!! Sarah xx

Hey All - burnt food, it's the FUTURE xxx

Hi Helen Welcome to the site - glad you found us, and hope to chat more. It's a great place - friendly, fun and most importantly helpful and reassuring. Lots of love Sarah

Hi Poppy Bless the pair of you - really sorry to hear Dee's back in hospital but glad the sense of humour's still intact! Give him our love and I really hope they get things sorted out as soon as possible. You take care of yourself too, you must be shattered. With love Sarah xx
