I had my bleed three years ago and I still have daily headaches . I'm off for a MRI on Wednesday just to check things , but all other test normally. As my doctor says on paper I'm very healthy , but he does know different . Lets hope they settle soon , every year I hold out for them to rack off !!

Thanks everyone, well I have four children and I have taken more work on in the last nine months , it's all caught up with me!! Very depressing to go so for backwards when you think you have turned a corner! Great news about the baby Lin , hang in there it does get easier My legs hurt me everyday , and I ache across my chest very day , I've come to the conclusion that it is nerve damage . My GP has tested me for everything. I felt very dizzy yesterday and call into doctors as I nearly passed out , which has not happened before. My GP wasn't there so they just tested my blood sugars which were fine but my blood pressure was up 140/80 which scared me , but GP said he thought it was up because I felt unwell ???? But did I feel dizzy because my blood pressure was up ????? I feel exhausted today and have a headache , but nausea not to bad . Anyway back to GP on Thursday to check blood pressure .

Hi everyone , two and half years on and still having really bad days . I suffer with dizziness , headaches, nausea that is debilitating , and fatigue . I have a long run of good days then I feel like someone drags me back to square one! Doctors can't give me any answers, just feeling very frustrated! Any advice or anyone else feel the same ???

Hi Sandi, I am 15months on now since SAH and i work Thur and Fridays 6hr shifts. Some weeks are fine and can still do things after , like cook dinner for the family but other weeks i just come home and thats it, cant function cant cope with the children or cook, thank god for my husband that takes over. It is getting better but i suppose i have no quiet days as i have four children and i house to run as well as work. I pushed mysself back into work, it was a way , i thought , that i could be normal again. But i learnt the hard way and did to much to fast and took a big backward step. I can just about cope with these hours now, but headaches and fatgiue are still a big factor for me. Hopefully because you are listening to your body things will go well for you Take Care Rhiann x

I too am like Traci, im 12 months on too but go through stages, fatgiue is a big factor.

I too feel just as Lin said, mental fatgiue, talking to people can be the most draining. I recently have had a bad patch of this and went to the doctors with it, who run some test all came back "normal" ! got appointment with him 2mrow and im going to try and explain how i feel as you have all describe as it is how i feel. I can be scary after thinking you where doing so well, then it snecks back up on you and scares the hell out of you again. When i get this fatgiue i find old symtoms come back , as aching in my neck , shoulders and across my chest, my left arms feels heavy and abit numb and my legs feel like lead.I always go very pale too. Anyway will see what the doctor has to say 2mrow, i bet he is sick of seeing me:lol: Anyway , take care all xx

On the 15th june at 5pm it will be 12months since my life changed forever! I'm feeling very werid about it , depressed i think, i thought i would be happy to see it but infact i feel like i wont get there!! My symtons are better, but still have days when i just have to stop and give into it. Does this depression ever go away? Should i just be happy i made it?? Been so down not even been able to read the treads as im trying to run away from it, but it just comes with me!! Thanks for letting me moan and groan Rhiann xxxx

Hiya Hazel and welcome to the site, I to rushed back to work to early at 9weeks, this only knocked me back in my recovery , i felt worse than when i came out of hosptial !! Now 11months on i'm back to work and doimg alot better, still get exhasted but can handle it better now.You and your family only suffer if you go back to early and push yourself to hard. My husband and four kids did'nt know what to do with me. I to suffer with depression and have learnt to cope with it, i'm in couselling and find this a big help. I think it is part of recovery and expecting what has happened to us and our family. Don't be to hard on yourself ( my husband and kids would be laughing their heads off if they read that advice, as i am hard on myself) but it gets you nowhere. Remember your not alone we are all here to help you through:-D Take care Rhiann xxxx

Interesting reading thanks for posting , i've not found such a recent study when i;ve been looking , so great that you found it

:-DWelcome to the site Simon, When i went into a&e they told me and my husband that it was a migrane even though i had lost my speech at the time and had no feeling in my legs!! Only that my husband pushed them that they sent me for a CT scan and boy did they change attiude when i came out of the scan:roll: I often wonder if i was back home in North Wales if they would have picked it up or sent me home. My local hosptial was Wrexham, as i born there and lived there. So from your experience Jan they would have!! Makes me proud to be Welsh:lol: But i must say i had great care here in Western Australia. Charlies is one of the top Neruo hosptial in Australia, so very lucky. I hope your recovery keeps going well , drink plenty helps with the funny heads, and rest well:-D Take care Rhiann x

Hiya Carolyn, Sorry to read things are tuff for you at the moment. I too was brought up in a house where you put on a smile and did'nt talk about how you truly felt. I've learnt from this SAH that this no longer works for me ( don't think it ever did ) i now say im not feeling up to it today or i feel depressed, this has been hard as it goes aganist all i have ever known. I now tell my kids to talk about how they truly feel and since then my two eldest are going to couselling because what they have been through ( they found me in the bedroom in a seizure when i had the SAH ) . Keep fighting, knowing we are all thinking of you and sending our best to you xxx Take care Rhiann

Glad all went well and the results were good. I too had NSAH 10months ago, i have now given up trying to work out why it happened, it's truly is a mystery. I had 2 angigrams and a MRI 6 weeks later. When i went back to see neruo i was told all was clear and no further tests to be done. I think we can't believe somthing so serious that happened to us has no more follow up!! Take care Rhiann x

I remember saying to my GP, because i went in with lists of things, bet you think im a hypochondriac, but he said hardly after want you have been through. He made me feel better and did a full blood works on me. He to said now we will take more notice of things because what happened to us. So go with your lists and ask for full blood works, even if it is just to put our minds at rest.

warm welcome to the site Suzie I'm glad you are doing so well, i had my NASAH 10months ago and im 35 years old. Just take yur time and listen to your body, rest as much as you can and drink plenty of water for the headaches. I suffered alot with them in the early days and still get headaches most days but not as bad as the early days. I to somtimes can't get the words out, i think this is fatigue and the brain telling us to slow down. Take care and any questions just ask us all. Take care Rhiann
