Ha ha ha! Female ! Hi karen I was 45 Right Subtemporal Approach and clipping of Basilar Tip Aneurysm....a berry aneursym that ruptured. Just looked at my discharge notes ! Was at the stem of my brain so not sure which artery ! Was clipped with colbolt chronium/ titanium and have titanium plate in the side of my head and cheek bone. Hope that helps Love Tina xx

Hi Karen My sleep patterns have changed a lot......like Jess when i first came out of hospital i slept a lot. It gradually got a bit less during the daytime. Even now 13 months later, i actually feel more tired than ever.......i think it is because i am trying to do more. I often find when i do my housework, i have to go and rest, as i feel shattered and dizzy and wiped out! If i have a late night, i either have to have a nap earlier or, it takes me a good few days to get over it. Also with concentration, that really tires me out. Sometimes i am so tired, but cant sleep and have very vivid dreams. I know when i first saw the survivors DVD, and they were all saying how tired they were, some were a year or so down the line....i said to my self...that wont be me! I always have had lots of energy...but it is me! Hope this helps Karen, Love Tina xx

Hi Rachel...glad Jon is doing well....i agree with everything you have said...it often seems to be missed, as i was....told i had a sick bug, by my GP that i had called out...i was in agony! I was lucky my friend came in to see me and rushed me to hospital...she saved my life! Take care Love Tina xx

Bless you lauren...it is so hard with families...i really hope you and your sister can sort your differences out and support each other, and work together to help your Mum. Take care...a big hug to you...lots of love Tina xxxx

Hi Vaughan A very warm welcome to you, I am at 13 months now, and find the tiredness worse...maybe because i am doing so much more.

Take care Love Tina xx
