Hi all
I Have appointments at the hospital The 1st is on the 28th Nov for a MRA scan and pre assessment the next is on 5th Dec for an Angiogram. I must admit i'm dreading going back to the hospital so any advice would help.
Thanks

Hi Rachel
I don't think GP's have much idea to be honest I feel like giving him information rather than him helping me. I was luckier than you if you can call it lucky in that I had a cause and a repair but this site has given me much more information than the hospital although they were fantastic it has only when I have got home and began recovering that I needed answers. I have found the headaches are getting better slowly but if I do to much or don't drink enough then I feel ill. Good luck I'm sure you will get help from the peeps on here.

Thanks everyone at least i'm not alone tiredness and stress does seem to have a big impact. I will try the deep breaths and see if that helps. Or maybe just throw a wobbly and they will remember i'm not the same as i used to be :lol:

Does anyone have any tips for coping withn the frustration of trying to say something and it won't come out I've just thrown a wobbly at work cos my son wouldn't give me time to find what I wanted to say. If you know what I mean.

Thanks all for the lovely messages. It does help to know others are suffering the same symptoms as me and many much worse than me. I do at times do more than I should and suffer for it. But I am very lucky as my partner does everything at home cooking, cleaning etc so although I am back at work I do nothing else unless I want to.

Hi all. I've been reading everyone's stories before I felt ready to tell mine. I feel I am very lucky but tell me what you think.
I had my SAH on 31st May 2011. I was at work went to the loo and had this weird vibration all over my body I work in my family business so
shouted my son who was a nurse that I felt ill. Then I got the most awful pain in my neck and down my back, everytime I moved the pain shot through me.
We decided I must have hurt my neck in some way so my dad took me home and after feeding by dogs I went to bed. I got up an hour later with the
worst headache I have ever had and realised I needed help.
Cut a long story short my son & dad took me to casualty at our local hospital after a long wait I had a scan and was transferred by ambulance to the
Southern General in Glasgow(OMG morphine is a wonderful drug). Next day I had another scan and then a coil fitted.
I spent 3 weeks in hospital and all I can really remember is the headaches, a lumbar puncture, the day my left side was dead, but it came ok with fluids:shock: The day my brain went into spasms and everything I tried to say came out wrong (that was a scary day) but that came ok too.
Then I got home I could do very little but sleep but slowly I got better. I went back to work for an hour or so every day 3 weeks later. We moved house on 31st August and I had a week's holiday then went back to work full time
I do get very tired especially when I can't sleep at night. I struggle at times to find what i'm trying to say which I hate. And I have fired my curry down the front of my dress in a restaurant because my coordination isn't good but getting better but i'm alive and very grateful for that
I was very independant before my SAH and I struggle with being so much more dependant on my family than I used to be but I will just have to get used to the new me
Hope I haven't bored you all but I can't sleep tonight
