I am so glad you are doing so well Sophie. You have clearly embraced the experience and come out with a hugely positive outlook on life, not an easy thing to do. 

I was told that I was on the young side to be having a SAH at 29, I can't begin to imagine what it must be like for someone only 16. It can often feel like a lonely road because most people aren't even aware of what a subarachnoid haemorrhage is (I certainly had no idea before it happened to me) so peoples reactions to it vary, this lack of empathy might just be a lack of understanding in some people. There's also the fact that, most of the time, we have no external indicators to show whats happened to us (even more so with the coil), we look normal, we look fine, so people assume we are (you break your leg, you get a plaster cast) but you will undoubtedly get the deepest level of sympathy from everyone on here as we have all been through this and are here to help.
