Hi i had my bleed on July 9. i have been doing great, other than the fatigue. tonight is my first night out and i brought my daughter to a Def Leppard concert. now i can't enjoy myself because I'm paranoid from the noise Aargh! I don't want to leave. Any stories you can share will help!

Hello again:) my computer froze and I had to switch to my phone. it's actually easier to type this way! crazy because this won't help me when I go back go work! I'm a special education teacher and I have a ton of computer work to do. Back to my bleed; i did have some type of drain that stayed in for a couple days, but I remember them saying that I didn't need a shunt? I have no future neurology appointments scheduled. I'm only seeing a home health nurse once a week and occasional visits with my GP. I was on 4 BP meds! But the nurse was able to get that changed to 2 since I was very dizzy and lethargic. What a change this is from my previous "can't sit still" self! They also have me on Lexapro which is totally against my mental health beliefs, but I'm going with it for now since I've been kind of weepy and isolated. Thanks for listening and I will "talk" with you soon! Suzy

Hi Gemma! Thanks for the quick reply It let's me know that I am posting correctly!! I do know the cause of my bleed, I'm just not sure of the particulars as the doctors haven't told me much and I was passed out through most of my early days in the hospital. I've had hypertension and stress in my life for years, but I didn't always take my BP medication. The side effects bothered me and I often put off finding other options. Sadly, my bleed happened on July 9th and I had actually made an appointment with a specialist ( I also have hypothyroidism) on July 11th) As for the ct scan, I had my most recent one on August 4th, so that was less than a month after the bleed. I am hoping that "hemorrhage no longer seen" is good news. Once again, I didn't talk to the doctor much, I just heard him say that the scan looked "beautiful". I'm glad that he is so efficient, but details would be nice since this is all totally new to me!

Hi, I am new here, so I will have to complete an introductory post, but I thought I would reply to this thread before I forget how to find it again My release papers are similar to others above. I had a ; Acute spontaneous intraventricular intracranial hemorrhage with hydrocephalus. and my most recent cat scan said this: Previous right intraparenchymal and intraventricular hemorrhage no longer seen. So I'm not sure if I had an SAH either?? I just know I had a bad headache, I'm tired and I'm having trouble typing with my left hand!! Nice to meet you, thanks for the great reading so far and I will introduce myself soon! Suzy
