Hi everyone

I know I was under a lot of stress, I was nervous starting a new job which I was suppose to 5 days after my SAH, my son would of tell me that if I don't calm down I would land in hospital one day, I never listened and it surely did happen.

Dear Anna

I am so sorry to hear the sad news regarding your mum, I can only express what others have already said, we are all here for you.

Thinking and praying for you and your family.

Zoe sorry to hear that, I only hope and pray that everything turns out well for Richard.

Take care both of you.

Hi Karen and all BTG members

Wishing everyone here a Merry Christmas and a healthier 2011

Hi Anne

So sorry to hear about your friend Rab, please pass on my condolensces to your friend and her family.

Hi Nita

So sorry about what you are going through again, I know you are a strong person and you will win this battle too.

Thinking of you and praying that you will get better soon.

Take care.

Hi John

I also suffer from severe balance problems since my SAH and it was the same artery as yours too, it also has become worse since my second coiling in July this year with the balance and dizzy spells it's not much fun being outdoors, although I have never been accused of being drunk I often have people stare at me.

Penny is right no neuro surgeon can be certain that the SAH was the cause but my surgeon felt that it is something I will have to live with.

Take care.

Hi Jo

Hi Jules

Welcome to this wonderful site, hope to hear more from you when you are ready.

Take care.

I know that my mother's uncle had 2 brain haemorrhages, the first one he had survived but the second one was fatal.

I am the second person in the family and I do worry about my son's but they don't seem to worry about it at all.

Hi Kelvin

Sorry it late to welcome you, so welcome to BTG.

Take care.

Hi Garyolly

Welcome to this site, we can all relate to not being the person we once were. Yes, it's still early days for you and recovery takes time, take it easy and get to know the new you. We are like a family here so we know how you are feeling.

Love to hear more from you when you are ready.

Take care.

Hi Lynz

Congratulations on passing the Maths, that has inspired me to do something in September!

Well done!

Hi Ash

Hi Lin Lin

A warm welcome to this site, I agree with not being yourself it is sometimes a hard struggle but in time you will get used to the new you.

Hope to hear from you some more when you are ready.

Hi Mel

A warm welcome to this site, hope to hear more from you when you are ready!

Sorry to hear about Mark's problems, as the others have already said mine is also not as severe as Mark's but I still do have problems with short term memory, it's very frustrating to be in such a situation such as Mark's and as well as yours.

It was my physiotherapist who suggested to me to do some brain training which I do when I can and I think it has helped a little bit, I know each situation is different and the recovery period after a SAH I am still trying to recover and mine was over 2 years ago.

Visit your GP and see what's available for Mark and for you too and don't forget we are also here for you.

Hi Anne

It's a very difficult decision to make, I too have a untreated middle cerebral artery aneurysm and I am waiting for the appointment hopefully next month for coiling.

It has been really hard to make a decision for me because there are more risks involved now and when speaking to my neurosurgeon and cardiologists last week it has not been good at all, that is one of the reasons I have been worrying a lot.

Your friend perhaps can read some of the posts here to make a decision but as Karen has said ultimately it is his decision and he really needs the support and understanding.

These past few weeks I have been in a turmoil, I can't win either way, there are risks involved not only with my brain now but also the heart, hence the cardiologist.

Take care and let us know how your friend is getting along.

Hi Kylie
