Okay so i had the test, it was fine all that worry for nothing lol. My bf's in car sat nav system decided to tell us go the long way, so it took us longer than normal to get there. p.s never buy a bmw lol. stupid in car computer systems that make them no better than a normal car. I was not prepared for the open back gown situation lol i clung to it to make sure no one could see my bum lol. But the scan was finnnne, it was noisy you were right and the heat radiating of my head was incredible. It was strange in fact. I was watching the people in the gallery and they were making me laugh, because i couldnt hear what they were saying seeing them talk and shout at each other was funny. Then seeing one with a banana just made me just think, blooming hell. Easy job lol.

Oh how i hate buses too, before i passed my driving test i detested them. I infact walked to school once just so i didn't have to get on one. The schedules are confusing and the buses are always packed. Not fun

Thanks for the replies guys its been great reading everyone's experiences and it has definitly calmed me down a lot. When i booked the appointment the woman told me to bring my fave CD along so I am bringing Britney Spears's new album, Femme Fatale that should make me feel okay and will pass the time. My scan is at half 5 today, the bf is coming with me and he is driving because i honestly can't be bothered driving to liverpool. how long does the results take?

Hello all, so i went to liverpool neurology centre today for a appointment to talk about my family history of SAHs. And the doctor has decided to put me in for a MRA scan in 3 weeksish time. What happens? How long or what do i have to do? I didnt ask the doctor stupidly when i saw him and my bf who couldnt come with me has all these questions and now he has had me thinking. Just wish my mum was referred there and she might still be here.

Oh gosh Anna, hope your okay and i hope your mum gets better.

oh gosh that sounds terrifying, the entire family suffering from them. Can i ask, why were your children offered scans when they reach 30? nothing before? what can cruse do for me? i have been given their number so i might give them a go. yeah my mum always thought that i wont inherit her aneurysms due to being so like my dad. I have his blood type, his mannerisms, and i even look like him. But perhaps the one thing i have inherited of my mum is this, which just frightens me. But ill talk to the neurologist, he/she will be able to definitly say for sure.

thanks for the welcome Yeah its a great subject. I love it. yeah it was devastating, mostly because i came home from working a busy sunday, and found her. It broke my heart. thanks Yeah your right Karen, and yeah i think she was proud of me. She was always proud of me and showing me off to her friends, proud of me going to uni and having a bf that is extremely sucessful. So in a way its comforting that she died knowing i was okay, knowing that i will always be okay. I just miss my best friend is all.

I know aneurysms are more than often just what happens to people not always hereditary. My mum even thought it was pure coincidence that her mother died of one and then my mum had one a few years apart. Every doctor thought the same, but it must be one of those things. If your daughter has to have to have two close relatives, doesnt your grandmother count then? Because it would be my grandmother and mother to be taken into consideration. Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks Kel, Yeah it was great getting the right help today, hearing her say the words "Ill refer you to a neurologist" made my mind ease. Just need something to help me to get through this utter shock. Ill keep you all updated.

Ive already posted a story in the SAH discussion, but i thoguht id introduce myself here. I am Andrea, i am 19 and currently studying Criminology at university. (second year) My mum died of a Subarahoid haemorhage, cerebal artery aneursm on the 19th of december 2010. I miss her so much, but im getting through the days because my mum wouldnt want me to be glum and doing nothing. So i searched in google for a place like this, and i am so glad i registered. I love this place, your all so brave and supportive. Thanks for everything,

Thanks Carolyn, appreciated to hear your words. Should be seeing a neurologist soon, just waiting on a appointment date. I hope they scan me, so it puts my mind at ease.

Not sure about my grandmother, as my mother never really talked about it. But my mums was a cerebal artery aneurysm. Thanks everyone for your kind words and support It has been great reading through them. I have been a bit unwell over the weekend, headaches and just being a bit under the weather. So i saw my GP today, she told me i have anxiety problems but has referred me to a neurologist in Liverpool. So ill definitly get the answers i need.

Hello, I am new but I have been browsing. This Fourm looks great and it's nice to see support given to everyone. Also apologies for spelling and grammar, I'm on my iPhone and it's difficult lol I lost my mother on the 19th of December 2010, she was my best friend in the whole world and losing her is the worst pain I've ever felt. Considering she was only 49 when she died, and that I'm only 19 too. She died from a subranoid haemorrhage. Now my mums mum died when my mum was 17 from a brain haemorrhage too, now I dont know what kind but I know she did. Then my mother suffered from a haemorrhage when she was 23, luckily survived and that was that. Obviously it wasn't because she died, and losing her hurts so much but also knowing that I might leave my children with this pain too just doesn't leave me well. In fact it's putting me off having kids. I just need to know what I need to do, if anyone has any family history like mine too. I just miss my mum, and she was normally the person I turned too. Thanks in advance (sorry if this is not in the right place)
