Thank you everyone for such sharing, supportive messages. Don't know why I stalked you all for so long. Feeling mentally up after reading everything you all said. Not that it matters but I did my sums wrong, I have just celebrated 7 years since "my head tried to kill me". I call it my "NAAA I'm not dead day!". As you have probably gathered I survive on humor and scarcasm ! I have an eye specialist, I also have type 1 diabetes, but have never mentioned the effect my SAH has had on my eyes to him. So thanks due to see him in September and will talk to him then. It was actually my GP that put me onto the codine based meds but don't worry I try not to take them too often. Generally only when things are that bad I cannot sleep for the assortment of things going on in my head/body. Or if I am at work and have to keep at it. Anyway enough babble from me. Thanks all Trace

Hi All, have been stalking you for years but this is my first post. I had my "no cause" SAH six years ago this week and like some others immediately following sex with my husband not that others actually had sex with MY husband, but you get my drift. I feel so lucky to have walked away from it as well as I am but sometimes, like this fortnight, when I seem to be unwell regardless of what I do it gets on top of me. The doctors here in Australia offer no support or advice beyond be grateful I am alive and not worse off. This is true but come on ?? So does this sound like anyone else ? Weird head, not exactly a headache but sort of with pressure thrown in. Difficulty concentrating. Easily overtired. Ringing in ears. Nausea. Loss of balance. Blue flashing lights in eyes. Mixing up words. And tonight for the first time in six years kaleidoscopes in eyes. All this means I can only work about 15 hrs per week. Don't drive much, never on a work day at night or long distance. And have a sleeping routine of a baby.....get plenty and NO late nights. I take a variety of codine based medications to attempt to keep it at bay. My only almost guarantee of being well for any period of time is holdiays so no stress, no work and no arguing with husband. Thoughts fellow SAH'ers ???
