Hi all

My SAH was 2017 and I still worry about it happening again . I had coiling and worry it’s not as effective as other methods. Does anyone else feel like this? I’ve also noticed being irritable and cross about everything .

Best Wishes Josie

Thank you for warm welcome. I am struggling to find my way around this site ?I am most confused

I will make sure I read this , currently struggling so it may help . Thank you

I am finding all your comments helpful

Thank you everyone. This has reassured me ??

Hi all,

I had my SAH in January and it's only last two weeks it's hit me . All came flooding back and I keep thinking it's going to happen again in January. Is this something anyone else has struggled with ? I have arranged some psychological treatment so hopefully this will ease . I find myself looking at studies for likelihood of it happening again and it terrifies me . Any advice warmly welcomed.?

It's been hard realising things just happen and we have no control. Still coming to terms with it all and latest MRI bought it all back . 

Good Evening Everyone,

I had SAH in January this year and just recently thought oh I am fine all sorted ......then the MRI and going back to the John Radcliffe bought it all flooding back.  Any advice gratefully received,feeling worried about the results now .

Kind Regards Josie 

Hi all,

just wondering if if anyone has encountered a change in taste since their SAH ? I always loved a cup of tea and since being in hospital I have no urge to drink it anymore? Maybe it's my imagination ?

Good Evening everyone ,

I have noted lately my memory is awful ! Keep leaving the cooker on and TV . Does this improve ? Sometimes too I seem to daydream and don't hear when people talk to me or there's a delay of a few seconds before I answer. Prior to my SAH I was always so organised ?But I am very glad to be here thanks to John Radcliffe Hospitals wonderful professionals . It's wonderful to see the sunshine today I felt very lucky .

Hi Gareth ,

Welcome ! I had my SAH in January and recovering well, I guess my advice is to be patient, the short term memory is annoying but that and tiredness seem to be the norm for SAH . I feel tired most of the time and get impatient with my self as want to get back to normal quickly ,but my body is telling me it needs rest .

I have found it has helped me to come on here and speak with others that's helped a lot .

The main things I have learnt is rest up ,be patient and kind to yourself . It's great you are there to support your partner and that you are taking time out to find out all you can . Feel free to message me anytime .

Best Wishes Josie

Hi all,

I sleep so so much and I know it's normal after what happened , however my bleed was only small so I assumed I would not be as tired as some of you who were more seriously impacted . Yesterday I did my first run well Walk run really ,it was good but today exhausted ?I guess I need to learn the lesson of patience. Also guilt seems to be playing it's part as I feel guilty for resting and sleeping so much ? Any advice gratefully received! If I don't respond quickly it's simply because I can't navigate around this site , I am very slow at the moment . I am so glad you are all here to talk with . 

Best Wishes Josie

Hi all out there ,

Still not not sure I am posting in the correct places . Just wanted advice on tiredness I feel so tired all the time ,my SAH was 7th January so early days yet ,but how long does the tiredness last ? Also have noted my mood is low too but I guess this is normal too . Finding it hard to concentrate and hold conversations - any advice welcomed 

Best wishes Josie

Hello PJ-ND ,

I am in early stages as my haemorrhage was day after yours . I really don't think it's wise to be working just yet ,could you take some time out of work ?  It's a good place here for advice and support because everyone knows how you feel and can offer their experiences to help you . All I know is it's early days for us and time will heal . Just be kind to yourself and keep in contact with friends and family as talking helps . Rest as much as you can and take care .

Best Wishes Josie

Hi all,

just anxious its day 21 since my SAH from aneurysm. I have a headache today and slight sore neck I know it's to be expected but so worried 

Hi all,

Had my SAH 7th January and still have odd days nausea and headache. I know this is probably normal but just looking for reassurance really . My anxiety about everything is really bad currently ,but this is probably normal too. Any advice , reassurance and so on gratefully received.

Josie

Good afternoon,

Its taken me a while to figure out how to post on here . My SAH was 2 weeks ago and although feeling so lucky to be alive I am very emotional and slow at the simplest of things . I am worried about everything and anything and that's it really .

I keep playing events over and over in my head of when it happened ( was running) I am looking forward to running again and I feel reassured to know you are all here to answer any queries /concerns .

Hi Sophie ,

I am not sure I am posting correctly?  I had a subarachnoid haemorrhage two weeks ago and have been looked after well by John Radcliffe they are excellent so in the best of hands.  Josie

Hi and so sorry to hear your story . My haemorrhage was 2 weeks ago and have had my op to insert coils and just out of hospital. I feel incredibly lucky. With  your support your wife should improve little by little ,it's a long road for some and I wish you both all the best .
