  1. Hi. My husband had a Non-aneurysm SAH one year ago. Thankfully, he had and has no debilitating issues as a result of it. I wanted to ask if anyone out there knows if one "side effect" of this trauma is moodiness or, moreso, lack of patience. My husband was always a very positive, energetic man and very rarely lost his cool. It took a lot for him to get really angry. This past year, and it seems to be getting worse, everything makes him angry. We have talked about it a few times. He admits he seems to be going through some sort of depression. He is still having a hard time accepting that his headaches and fatigue, as a result of the SAH, are not gone. He expected to "lick this thing" by now for sure and that has him down. I suggested therapy for him or both of us and he refuses. Can anyone who has gone through this at least tell me if this anger issue may be normal and maybe how I might better handle things. Thanks so, so much.
  2. Hubby has been drinking lots of water since Friday and, so far, no headaches. Could be a fluke, but drinking water cannot hurt. Thanks Jod-dee for ice pack tip too!
  3. My husband experienced his NASAH on January 17, 2012. He is slowly recovering but, like many folks on this forum, he continued to experience headaches and fatigue. Last Friday, I found numerous posts on this forum from people encouraging others to drink plenty of water. I researched some other sites and found that hydrating your body well can really help headaches and even fatigue. Well, I am not saying it is a miracle cure, but immediately after reading these things, I proceeded to start giving my husband bottles of water. He is averaging at least 6 16 oz bottles a day. He has not had a headache since Friday and he went back to work today and had enough energy to join his pool league toight. Of course, he still needs to pace himself and the headaches and fatigue may not disappear completely, but the water definitely seemed to help. I'm curious what others' experiences are with drinking water and its impact on your headaches and fatigue.
  4. Your site is a Godsend. My husband had his SAH just over 1 1/2 weeks ago. Was doing great in hospital by second day, but then developed a brutal sinus infection. He has had excruciating headaches and neck pain chronically since then with little or no relief from all meds. We do feel his recovery was delayed due to sinus infection, and that appears to be out of his system now. Did anyone else experience excruciating headaches in the days, weeks or months to follow their SAH? These are occurring 24/7. They switched him to Fioricet, but these only help a little. I have to add that he is finishing up a 6 day medpak of methylsprednisolone (steroids) for the sinus infection, and we are hoping when that is out if his system, we will see improvements. Any advice, thoughts or encouragement would be greatly appreciated. He is in constant pain that seems like it will not end. Thank you all. Loretta
