Hi everyone my name is shelly and I had my a reputed aneurysm on the 9, June 2010.
I was out shopping (buying my new great nephew a present,he was borne that morning) when all of a sudden I had a hot flush come over me,my left leg went numb and then I collapsed in the street,luckily my partner was with me and caught me in time before my head hit the ground.
Next thing I remember was waking up in hospital with the most violent headache I had ever had and vomiting. I was brought to my local hospital in Enfield where they gave me A CT scan,witch reviled a subarachnoid haemorrhage. I was then transferred to the Royal Free Hospital in London. They gave me another CT scan witch revealed I had also another aneurysm on the other side of my brain and was small and not bleeding.
On the 11, of June I had the one on the right that was bleeding coiled. I was kept in hospital for three weeks. In september I had my post op scan, coiling had gone very well and the other aneurysm was 2x6mm, my consultant was very happy and said he would scan me in january to check it.
In january I went back to work part time,it's been hard to try and get back into a routine as my sleep pattern is still all over the place but i'm only doing 12 hrs a week.
At the end of january I had my scan and my annie has grown to 5x2mm. my consultant now wants me to have an angiogram to see how they are going to treat it,I have not had one done before so I'm a bit scared! This is going to be done on monday the 4,April.
My memory is still not good and I forgot to ask them if I should go back to work the next day after my angiogram....Work is starting to moan about me taking time off so soon after going back!!!
am so glad I have found this sight... and thanks for listing to me going on to long.x
