  1. Hi Rory, It does seem to be a common denominator. I was doing a few bicep curls when my SAH occurred. I suppose whatever weakness was there, just needs a reason to finally pop. As you will know from your own research and from the posts on this, very useful forum, once you have had a bleed the risk of another is the same as anyone else in the population, i.e minuscule. Hope you have got your confidence back, to get in with the things you enjoy. I now exercise the same as I did before, well I am 2 years older, so the old bones need longer rest between runs. "Funny heads" and bouts of tiredness are something I now accept as likely to be with me for ever. I also have accepted that multi tasking is to be avoided if possible. I can focus well on linear tasks but keeping a number of balls in the air at the same time is tiring and stressful. Hope you have a speedy and full recovery. Bri..
  2. Hi llse, Hope your recovery is going well. I was interested that you mentioned your history of migraine. I had weekly migraines through my teens until my early twenties. They then stopped until about ten years ago, they then started again but instead of horrible headaches and sickness, they were visual disturbances and feeling of being washed out. These got more frequent during the year before my SAH. In the two years since the bleed I haven't had any further incidents. A small bonus from the SAH. Keep on being positive and you will soon be back to doing all the things you enjoyed before. Regards Bri.
  3. Hi Keyo, I had exactly the same concerns as you post bleed. I was advised on here to wait until I had my 6 week neurology consultation. Prior to that I was walking/jogging about a mile, a couple of times a week. After the neurologist told me there was no reason to not get back to my previous levels of exercise, I built up my exercise levels at a steady rate. As mentioned on here , your body will quickly let you know your limits. You must keep hydrated, it's so important post SAH, headaches and tiredness are going to be part of your life for a period of time(still with me after two years) it is worse when you haven't drunk enough fluids. You will find your own limits. I find that Looking up for extended periods e.g painting a ceiling, or bending over for a long time, e.g gardening. Leave me feeling washed out and a bit thick headed. Keep up the positive outlook, summer is nearly here. Enjoy!
