I had a non aneururysm SAH on Sept 16, 2011. Horrible headache felt like star wars with laser light show. I had to move holding my head in my hands for a long time I was vomiting then I would I would scream in pain because I moved my head. I was undiganoised for a few days or misdiagnoised as it was in an rare region of the brain in the right back. During the first 3 days I was treated only for the DVA on the front right of my brain. After that I was transferred to a neuro center in a larger town. I was nick on brain stem during the angiogram- had fireworks & lightening coming out of my finger tips, toes, & eyes. Scared to death to get another, I have had enough radiaton to last me a lifetime between the CT Scans, and MRA's & MRI's. During my 2 or 3 month follow up MRI they found a tumor in my "posterior superior left posterior fossa along the tentorium" - Small jelly bean size. Next MRI end of February. So my offical DX was SAH with blood in spinal fluid, intracerebral hematoma or hemorrahge? ( they call it a stroke?), Verteral artery dissection, Tentorial tumor. I am doing faily well, but I had no idea I was going to down for so long. I thought I would be back to work in a few days, than weeks, maybe a month....then they said 3 months.... .....
