I'm nearly 6 years since my NaSAH I've got 2 shunts, 1 in my back which is tied off and a programmable shunt in my head, due to complications with Hydrocephalus.
I've suffered quite debilitating sensory flooding issues since my stroke. I Use many coping strategies to get me through as best I can.
I'm now finding after several years of changeable weather conditions, all year round that its affecting me. Changes in barometric pressure I seem to be very sensitive too and it knocks me for six. Heavy head, fullness in head, nausea, headache, can't think straight, cognitive sluggishness. Sensitivity gets highlighted to bright lights and noise etc.
I find keeping well hydrated, take anti sickness and pain med if you need them. Plenty of rest/sleep helps, also keeping your surroundings quiet and close your curtains. I'm finding any storms we are getting I'm being affected by them. I've checked with my hydro nurse and it seems quite a lot of us are experiencing these symptoms with changable barometric weather conditions. Really feel for you all. We've had at least 3 storms over the past month with flooding etc and snow is on its way today. Keep warm, everyone, I'm wrapped up with my fleecy hooded pjs, don't know about anyone else, but my shunt does let me know when it's cold, so I keep my head covered which helps.
Lots of love to everyone
