Hi all, haven't posted for a while .but i have to say, i had a nightmare with the dvla.

It took nearly eight months to get my license back, the main problem was getting the consultant 

to write to the dvla to say your ok to drive  I had to keep ringing his secretary until she knew my voice.

Got there eventually.

Good luck rob

Hi Robert.

Welcome to BTG.

Just read your posts and I think Macca's pretty much said it all.

Slow down and enjoy life.

Have a good Christmas.

Rob.        

Hi all,can not believe its been two years,its been hard going but getting better all the time.

I would like to thank all the great people on btg.with out you all it would have been hard going.

      thanks rob, and happy anniversary skippy too have a great day

hi pjk,welcome to btg,had same trouble getting my licence back.if you had a evd when you were in hospital the dvla 

won't let you drive for six months.the six months is from  the time you finished treatment.

you need to keep contacting hospital and dvla to find out whats going on,

like every one else says they are extremley slow.took me eight months to get mine back.

      good luck rob

Hi clare, I had the same problems getting my licence back.

I had to do same as daffodil, chase hospital and keep contacting dvla to find out what was going on.

Took me about eight months in the end.

Keep chasing rob.

Hi Davis,

Had my aneurysm burst  in the same place as yours a year ago too. Had all sorts of strange sensations after.

Squalshing sensation was evident, and used to feel like spiders crawling over my scalp, used to drive my wife mad asking  

"Can you check there's not". When I asked my consultant about them he says

"Your brain doesn't like being repaired by us so you might experience a few different sensations.

 Hope this helps, any questions ask away,some one will know.

take care

Rob

and every body was friendly and supportive.

hi clare,glad to hear your ok,you will feel better,takes a while.

had my sah last year.like you was fairly active.

have managed to get back to work.find the fatigue is the worst to deal with.

you just have to pace your self and rest when you need to.

Hi.has any body got any advice on how they got their licence back,

Im having a nightmare getting mine back,got told i couldn't drive for six months.

fair enough,done six months now.do i have to wait for dvla to say ok.or just drive.

tried to contact dvla but had no response,filled out relevant forms months ago.

any suggestions rob

hi sharon,glad to hear your recovering from your sah.had mine last august.and know what your going through.

it does get better,the emotion thing and weird sensations in and on your head.

this site is great answered a lot of questions i had.

   just take it easy and listen to your body

                                                                    rob

hi everyone, just done my first whole week at work,absolutely cream crackered.

hi guys thanks for warm welcome.its been nice to talk to fellow sufferers.

and have some of my questions answered.every body says talk to your local gp.

so i ask my questions and he looks at me like I'm alien and says "what does your consultant say"

have been reading other peoples topics trying to find out about strange sensations in heads after sahs.

i get what can only be described as spiders crawling over my scalp.even have to get my wife to check some times.

drives me nuts.

the other one is quite strange,on the side where my drain was, i get the sensation hard to describe.like a squalching.

if any one knows what i mean.please let me know .
