It is so confusing I received my letter from DVLA telling me they will be in touch with consultant they have not asked me to surrender licence but I am assuming I cannot drive without their agreement - it is frustrating as I have no vision or memory problems and so hate the lack of independence and being reliant on people. Returning to work will be impossible without my car and hate the thought it could take months!

Sorry to read your news but fingers crossed it will turn out well and not be cancerous you sound like a very brave woman will keep fingers crossed that this time the results bring better news x

Thanks Win I think my singing may drive someone to need surgery !

Hi the support group was helpful with a mix of people some having had ther SAH years ago and some a few weeks before mine. Helped me to understand some of what I am experiencing is normal. Headaches abeen getting me down but visit to GP showed I have water infection so back on antibiotics. I think having gone from working full out in a very busy job to doing very little is a bit of a shock to my system trying to set small achievements each day and keeping brain active but so miss freedom of my car. Not sure how I know when I can drive I feel quite capable but not sure if DVLA has to give permission I keep reading conflicting messages!

Hi a one in Newcastle RVI which runs monthly.

Thank you for all the lovely welcomes and support it has been good to see how people have shared and supported each other. I think it is great to have such a site as it is full on in hospital and then it feels like you are just left, I do have a support group to attend next week at my hospital and hopefully that will also be useful.

I had my subarachnoid haemorrhage on the 12th January 2015, I had just come out of shower started to vomit and felt like someone had hit me over the head managed to get to my bed where for the next five minutes experienced the worst headache ever. In October my younger sister had suffered a thunderclap headache and been found to have some small aneurysms so I guessed I was having something similar. I was found to have a large aneurysm which was coiled successfully on the 16th Jan. I am now home but on a bit of a roller coaster feeling okay, then not well - really bad heads and emotions everywhere.
