I have finally had my gynae appointment today with Dr 'Menopause' and he has put me on to oestrogen gel. A low dose to begin with and a review in 3 months. I am so thrilled as I have been really struggling with everyday life.

He explained that HRT has come on leaps and bounds, so everyone suffering please seek help x

I am still waiting to see the menopause 'expert' at my hospital.

Think the waiting list is very long.

I am definitely feeling worse. I have fatigue on top of my usual fatigue, which is just so unfair and all my joints are aching.

I am no longer able to regularly go to the gym like I was but my saviour is walking my dogs, so I'm walking as much as I can.

I'm so grateful for everyone's replies, keep them coming and I'll update as soon as I have an appointment. Stay safe and well x

Swimming helps alot with my headaches. I love water, so I find it relaxes me. Other than that I go to the gym and walk my dogs.

Nothing has ever helped my headaches.

Ok, I have been to my G.P and she is going to talk to my brain consultant and gynaecologist to check again if I still am not able to take H.R.T.

She was explaining that H R.T is evolving alot, so I have everything crossed.

She said tablet form is a big no-no with me but with look at other avenues.

I've explained that I don't have much of a life at the moment and just want to get a bit of happiness and energy back. Fingers crossed she comes back to me with good news 🤞🏻

Could anyone get in contact if they have had a S.A.H and are on H.R.T?

I am perimenopausal (sorry) and I have been told due to my brain hemoarrhage I cannot be offered H.R.T. I am really struggling. I dob't need medical advice, just hope.

I do have an appointment with my doctor, so hopefully can have a chat with them too.

Thanks in advance.

I am 5 years post S.A.H which has been coiled. I have headaches everyday. If they are my 'every day' headache, I can cope with them and don't always need pain killers, but there are days when I am like wow.

Very painful. Mostly when I am over tired or stressed.

I have spoken to my consultant and he said I had such a big bleed that it has caused a permanent 'bruise', so I won't ever be headache free.

I just think for me it's a small price to pay as I shouldn't have survived, so I can put up with it.

Hope you get the answers you need.

Not only do I have a crease since my SAH, my lobe is almost folded at 90 degrees. It's quite prominent.

My Dad now has a crease and is going to get himself checked out just incase. He is not the healthiest of people and won't be told.

A bit annoying as I was the one to have the SAH ?

I definitely have a crease on my left ear lobe.

I had my SAH on 25th July this year and this is something my Mum mentioned to my Husband when I was in hospital. She had already known it was a sign of stroke, so was very concerned when she saw the crease.

I still have it and my ear lobe on the left side is different too.  Strange.....
