Sami, I agree and low blood sugar isn't helpful .... I also find that if I drink too much diet Coke with sweeteners, then it will give me a headache.... but this has improved over time.

Slow energy release foods, such as bananas and even flapjack are good for a sugar kick. The GI diet looks pretty good, as it seems to help with the fatigue issue.

Karen, what is the GI diet?

Hello, Im new to the group today. I went into surgery on March 2 for a 2 level spinal fusion & woke up diagnosed with a spontaneous SAH. All the focus immediately became my brain & my surgery became very secondary. I was prescribed with nimodipine for 3 weeks & had several other narcotics to eleveate my back & nerve pain.

I have since gone to a specialist at the Barrow Neurological Institute. It was great to converse with the surgeons there but, now I feel like a man on an island.

Im 58 years old & have been in great health until I injured my spine.

I look forward to having the opportunity to talk with others about SAH. My biggest problem right now is trying to rehab my spine; the activity increases the degree & frequency of my headaches.

Good to be here,
