Hi John a very warm welcome to you.....as the others have already said, what you are going through is perfectly normal....i remember feeling exactly the same. I still cant remember alot of my time in hospital even 2 yrears down the line. It is still very early days for you, just rest up loads and we look forward to hearing more from you. Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Adam i don't get nose bleeds very often at all....after a cold had a little bit when blowing my nose. I agree with Karen and Paul, 2-3 times a week i would go and get it checked out...just for piece of mind...take care Love Tina xx

Hi Debbie ....great news....well done you :) Take care love Tina xx

Hi Phil Happy New Year to you and Sharon too........ Sharon is doing so well great news !! Take care love Tina xx

Hi Caroline good to hear from you yes me too.....the cold weather makes my head/eye and face worse like Janet.....have been taking medication constantly which i hate....take care xxx Janet...not surprised you are not at work....hope you are ok xx Perry ...hope you thaw out take care xx

Hi Kelley....i was clipped so not sure about coiling...but i had to go back 3 months later for a follow up. I am sure others coiled will let you know. Take care Love Tina xx

I agree too Leonie and Celia....is a small price to pay :) xx

Hi Nurianna I can relate to all of the above....even my left shoulder Celia....weird ! I put it down to driving again...but has been so uncomfortable that i cannot sleep on it. My headaches have improved....but are bad if i over do things. Fatigue, balance, blurry vision and nerve pain in my face and short term memory are my constant problems. I cant multitask like it used to and this really frustrates me big time. Also my forgetfulness...i was so on the ball and in control.....this i find drives me insane....i get very cross with myself. I was hoping to be back to work by now....but know and have accepted i am still not quite ready which has been hard, as i feel i have let myself and everyone down.......i ran my own business from home...marketing/research. Maybe not now...but i will get back to the old me...i am determined! Leonie....i am the same....my right hand side of my forehead still does not move....i cover it with my fringe. My eye brow still does not move but twitches at the side of my eye when i try to move it. My Consultant said he thinks he cut the nerve...but....it has improved from 2 years ago so i still live in hope I have had some really down tearful times too....my emotions seem all over the place sometimes.... suffered from panic attacks and get very anxious....this has also got better....still gets me from time to time....but always try and be positive and keep smiling I can empathise with you too as Janet has said... it is hard learning to adapt to the new you....but i am also very thankful to be here to do it. Hang in there xx. Take care Love Tina xx

Hi John.....ouch ! you have been in the wars ! Hope you are ok.....i too am clumsy...but like Penny i have been from the start ...well since my SAH....i did have really bad tremors as well at the beginning.....these have more or less gone completely 2 years later....but come back if i get tired as does my clumsiness get worse. My coordination is bad as well. I agree with Penny....go and get it checked out...just for piece of mind. Take care and try and slow down when doing things.....i always zoom around or try to like before....and it doesn't always work Love Tina xx

Hi Laura....i am only mildly asthmatic these days...only sometimes when i get a bad cold...which is rare...do i use my Turbohaler....Bricanyl....this is the blue one....not a preventer. I took mine recently and lucky for me it did not make my head hurt. Really hope your headache eases. Agree with Janet...maybe it needs a bit of time for you to get used to the preventer. Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Debbie ...a very warm welcome to you...it is very common for SAH not to be diagnosed at first ...i was similar to you....only i was told i had a sick bug and given anti sickness tablets....which did not work lol.....my friend took me to A&E and i was scanned and then rushed to Atkinson Morley Neuro Hospital where i had 7 hours life saving surgery, i was clipped like you. Two years on and i am getting there slowly but surely. :-D You are not alone....we look forward to hearing more from you....take care love Tina xx
