Hello everyone i'm 34 year old who has four children ( 11,10, 6, 5 ) , we all moved to Australia FROM THE uk IN jAN 2010.It was all going well untill June 15th when i came home from work and had just put tea on the table for the kids when i felt i pain rip through my head.I made to my bedroom where i lay on the bed by then i had lost my speech and had no control of my motor skills.I tryed to get off the bed to get help but i could'nt move my legs. My husband was not due home for a couple of hours. My eldest came in to see where i had gone and could see straight away somthing was wrong.About half a hour later my husband came home early where he took one look at me and new somthing was wrong. About hour from the 1st pain i was in ED where the dr told my husand it was prob just a headache and said he could go hoe to the kids while i waited for a CT scan . Well when i came out of the scan he had changed his mind and told me that i had to be blue lighted to another hosptial as i had had a bleed on the brain and that the swelling was very bad. My husband was called and then i was moved to another hosptial to ICU where i stayed for about 4days had a anigram which was clear, then i was moved to the ward where a week later i had another anigram which was clear. After a 10day stay i was sent home. But five days later my husband rushed me back in as i awoke in the night with my heart racing and breathless. They found out that i had a PE (blood clot on the lung) . I was then sent home two days later. My recovery is slow, i suffer with tirdness everyday, headaches feeling sick. i have numbness in my face when my headaches are bad.Im in bed most days by four. I feel like ill never get better, but know from reading your posts i need to take more time. Its great to find people who understand. thanks for reading x

Hiya everyone, im new to the site.I had my SAH on 15th JUne 2010 but also suffered with a PE (blood clot on the lungs ) on the 1st July2010. Fatigue is the hardest part for me , i have four children ages 11,10,6,and 5. I'm in bed from 4pm onwards, i feel guilty as i cant do things with the children. i get so tired that sometimes my body shakes. From reading all your posts i'm now hopefull that this will improve. I was so active before, i worked and looked after the children did boxersize 3times a week, its such a big change which is hard to get your head around. Also now my husband is suffering with fatigue, with the stress, full time job, coping with the children and looking after me. We moved to Australia from the UK on the 11th Jan 2010, then six months later a had a SAH . So been very stressful. Thank God for a site like this Any advice would be great. I also suffer with numbness in the face , headaches most days , dizzy and feeling sick most days, does this improve ???? Thanks Rhiann x

hiya Tracy, i have the very same feeling when going to sleep, i been told that is anxity, and maybe a side effect of SAH. i had mine in june 2010, my heart races and i have hot sweats too, more so at night and if i wake up in the middle of the night. hopefully it will improve with time and i hope yours does too. Take care Rhiann

Hiya everyone, i had my SAH on the 15th June 2010 around about 5pm after i had jst put dinner on the table for my four young children ( 11, 10 , 6, 5 ) a sudden headache came i made to my bedroom where i lay on the bed , by then my speech had gone and i was losing feeling in my legs, in minutes all my motor skills had gone, i was unable to call for help. Thankfully half a hour later my husband came home to find me on the bed.He said i was swetting and look very grey and spacedout.I mangered to say one word stoke, which he then understood somthing really was'nt right. We arrived in E.D. where they took me for a c.t scan which showed i had a major bleed on the brain, they didnt sound very hopefully when they told us. I was then blue lighted to another hosptial and put in ICU neuro. After an angigram it showed i had had a non-aneurysm SAH. i was moved out of ICU within 4days to a ward where i had another angigram to make sure they had not missed anything, all came back clear. I was sent home after a 10day stay to return in 6weeks for a MRI. ( which turned out clear too ) Five days being home i woke up in the night with shortness of breath and my heart racing, my husband rushed me back in where they found a had a PE ( blood clot on the lung ) they put me on warfarin to thin the blood for six months. The only thing about that is a side effect to warfarin is bleeding, also bleeding of the brain so im still very anxious about it. Since then my recovery has been slow, i suffer with exhastion alot, headaches, my boby can shake my very tired. i can tingling in my head and burning sensation. Numbness in the face also. Things are starting to get better but still have very bad days, which are very hard as i have four kids to look after. Has anyone else suffered with the same things, any advice would be good thanks:-D
