  1. Hi Rachel :)

    A very warm welcome to BTG, glad you found us.

    Things will get better, it just takes time :)

    I am 7 years down the line and I still have good days and bad days.

    Fatigue is a problem, but I have learnt to know my limits and pace myself and listen to my body. Still catches me out though sometimes !

    If your headaches persist I would definitely get it checked out by your GP as Win has suggested. Just for peace of mind.

    Nice chatting with you and hope the link helps.

    Look forward to hearing more from you.

    Take care

  8. Hi Jade :)

     

    A very warm welcome to BTG.
    So very sorry to hear about Todd, a very worrying, scary time for you and his family.

     

    Its great news Todd is remaining strong through all the procedures and having all the medical care he needs for his recovery. :)

     

    I did not need the procedure either and like Sarah was given nimodipine. I was clipped.
    Hope that Sarah's post above has given you hope regarding the vasospasm. I also agree with Sarah's comments regarding searching the internet....sometimes it can just cause more stress and worry for you, that you really don't need.

     

    Sending lots of positive vibes your way and wishing Todd well with his on going recovery.
    Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

    Take care

  9. Hi Carolyn, Bronco is responding to the post below :) xx

     

    I had a chest CT last week and it came back completely normal. No sign of a blood clot whatsoever! It's gone and I can relax a bit now!!

  10. Hi Andrea

     

    Its good to know your new Neuro is giving you hope and is listening to you and opening new doors.

    Good luck with the EEG and hope you can find the balance at home and routine of your lives again.

    Hopefully the burning will subside with time.

    Glad you made a new friend :)

    Take care and wish you well with your recovery.

  14. Hi Andrea :)

     

    Never say sorry, that's what we are here for, rant anytime  :)

    Glad your rough weekend ended up positively :)

    So sorry you have been diagnosed with Graves disease...its hard enough dealing with SAH ! 

     

    We all at times struggle emotionally, sometime up...sometimes down. I found it very difficult at first to accept the new me. I used to get so frustrated I could not do the things I did before. My family were and are very good and supportive, also my best friend. Although certain members did not always understand on the days I did not want to speak to anyone or see anyone...hard to explain how you feel.

     

    I also came out of hospital with no information at all like you on what to expect...I was lucky a friend of mine Yasmin had an SAH the year before and told my husband about BTG....he found the site and set me up....can't tell you what a Godsend it has been. Glad you found BTG too.

     

    Win is right :) it's good to laugh.....I try to do this when I say the wrong word or can't remember stuff, have a brain block, as I call it, severe fatigue, anxiety attacks, instead of getting angry with myself. Karen once said to me... be kind to yourself... wise words. Also try to be open with your family and talk about how you are feeling. I also went for counselling which helped to talk to someone away from the family.

     

    I hope you get comfort from some of the posts on the Forum. Feel free to post on good days and bad. We understand and know where you are coming from.

     

    Take care & keep in touch.
