Kris, I am learning meditation too and finding it very helpful.

Yes, I find I have changed my priorities since my SAH 2 and a half years ago. It left me suffering from PTSD and I have turned to meditation and positive thinking and philosophy to help me deal with this. Also I find myself much more compassionate towards people with mental problems since I have developed anxiety and depression. I am slowly coming out of it thanks to these practises.

David, I don't have quite what you describe but I have a constant spinning feeling and roaring sound in my head, makes me dizzy, sometimes bad in which case lying down for an hour not moving my head helps. Also get roaring in my ears, I was starting to go a teensy bit deaf before the SAH, it runs in my family, my brother had to get a hearing aid in his 30s, my dear old Dad (who passed away in February while I was in a coma) was incredibly deaf, and now my younger sister's hearing is starting to go, so I cannot blame it ALL on the SAH but it is definitely much worse since. My husband says he had the same thing for a year, many years ago, and it stopped when his doctor gave him some hefty antibiotics for a sore throat, so I guess he had a chronic low level ear infection, he had nausea with it too. Sorry, this is not very relevant to your experience. Have you mentioned it to your doctor? I did and he said it is common for people to get tinnitus or similar after a brain accident, it may or may not improve with time. Thanks, Doc!
