  5. Well I cannot believe my eldest is 18 and I worried I wouldn't see him grow up and here is the day so to everyone who is afraid of having another stroke or not seeing their children grow up don't worry I never let the fear consume me and I am so glad I didn't as I could've wasted 18 years of my sons life and missed all the important times xxx I had some dark times over the years god its been tough but I never really let the kids see it I used to lie in bed at night and think and cry but that was my worry time xxx I don't worry half as much anymore but I wanted to come here today and let you all know you can live after you can be happy you can get through the fear xxx All the best to everyone at btg keep moving forward never let anything or anyone hold you back xxx Karen and all the moderators thanks for being there over the years when I have needed to vent and through family problems me and my husband splitting up losing my mom earlier this year you will never know how grateful 🙏 I am to you all ♥️ I have put it here rather than green room as I went visitors to the site to also see how you can be happy after hemorrhagic stroke you can have a life so keep on keeping on never give up xxx
  6. Hi there try not to worry my 3 new ones haven't grown in 10 years they were noticed in 2011 I was told in 2020 they were there how considerate of the hospital for notifying me only took 9 years lol If mine haven't grown in 10 years I try not to think about them as I may get hit by a bus before any thing happens with them I know it's hard and it's not easy to come to terms with but keep trying hope you feel better about it all soon xxx
  7. Hi there welcome to btg sorry you need to be here xxx Hearing loss I have had problems with my ears since the sah in 2002 I describe it as its as if I have suddenly gone under water that's what it sounds like I get tinnitus daily to some degree drs were telling me my ears were fine but after a swab it turned out I actually had an infection (for 18 months everyday I was taking antibiotics with a couple of days break between courses and with regular swabs just wouldn't go) xxx Pain in base of spine I still get that but that is due to osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia which I have been diagnosed with both yours is probably from the blood as it takes a while to absorb hopefully it will go soon xxx
  8. Hi there welcome to the group Davie xxx Try not to worry as at least they know something has changed xxx I couldn't read for years after the bleed i couldn't remember what I was reading but I can again now xxx Speak to your drs and ask them what the letter means what is going to be done and when it will be xxx Hope everything goes well xxx
  9. Goodluck 🤞I am sure everything will be fine xxx Hope you have a speedy recovery 🙏❤

  15. Hi there, I get numbness all the time in my face arms and legs, it's been 19 years for me. Lots of things can cause it. I have nerve damage from where he had to remove part of my skull to operate but I also have other medical issues that can cause those symptoms. Try not to worry and speak to your Dr find out what's causing it for you. Hope it eases soon.
  16. Hi there I would say the symptoms are all to do with anxiety and stress you have had lots of tests and have all been negative Please don't be offended but all your symptoms I have had since my sah and its due to the fear and anxiety of having another one and with your granddad having one it would make that fear worse in you My blood was showing after a couple of years from a leak as when I had the major bleed the surgeon could see it on the scan I got numbness daily it was caused by anxiety my blood pressure would go up mine is normally around 100/90 sometimes lower sometimes a bit higher that can cause dizziness and heart to race which could then cause all those other symptoms Try to remain calm drink cold water sipping it breath in through the nose and out through the mouth slowly and tell yourself you are going to be fine so sorry you are having these symptoms hope they ease soon
  17. Congratulations on 7 years xxx
  18. Hi that's the reason I took it for a couple of weeks as it was just to see if it worked to help diagnose me hope things improve for you soon xxx
  19. Hi I would love to be able to tell you what medication is and isn't safe and works best however it would be really dangerous to try as I am advised not to take ibuprofen but others do different drugs interact with others in ways that can be really harmful They wanted me to take prednisone but I was advised against it so am in agony but you have been prescribed it so I really would go and see you dr and speak to them as I wouldn't want to give out this kind of advice and be responsible for naking a person really ill Hope you find something and the pain eases soon xxx
  20. Hi now I have had vertigo everyday since my sah so almost 19 years ago and it felt just like I did the day I collapsed with my bleed Causes everything change of westher, not drank enough fluids, stress, anxiety, lack of sleep absolutely anything can cause it with me but 2002 was the only time it was stroke so try not to worry. Go to drs get another scan/appointment with neurologist but don't panic Hope it passes soon xxx
