  1. It’s almost 12 years since my SAH and I still suffer when we get low pressure.

    I’m not sure if it’s getting better now or I’m getting used to it or maybe cope with it better.

    I tend to go to bed and keep out of peoples way as much as possible or go for long walks with the dog 🐕

  2. Just wondered how the barometer heads are today I woke up feeling dreadful this morning, I thought a bit fresh air would help so I took the dog for a walk but it got worse, the dog kept stopping and looking back at me she must’ve sensed I wasn’t well, think I’ll put my feet up for the rest of the day.

  3. Hi Carmen

    Yes it is reality and you have to find a way to deal with it and it won’t be easy, I never got back to full time work if I did 4 hours the next day I would struggle to do 2, I’m 68 now and still do a little bit of work eventually I’ve learned not to over do it.

     

    ClareM seems to be giving you a lot of good advice .

    It won’t be be easy for your husband either don’t be to hard on him he’s just trying to help.

  4. Hi Carmen

     

    Like you I had a sudden SAH didn’t know anything until I woke up in hospital, that was 2012.

    I certainly couldn’t have coped with a primary school class, I found it difficult to be with my grandchildren just for a short time.

     

     But like most of us you won’t listen to your husband you’ll have to have a give it a go. It took me a long time to realise the more I pushed the worse I got.😵💫

  5. Hi Carmen

     

    Dizziness & fatigue definitely are very real I don’t know what you’re neuro team are thinking about.

     I couldn’t look up or down for any length of time or do hardly anything without feeling dizzy.

     I read on another site that you shouldn’t nap in the afternoon,I used to go to bed in the afternoon and stay until next morning.

     

    Try to take it easy going back to work it won’t be easy. Keep us informed on your progress

     

    Best of luck  Compostc.

  6. Hi Esedlock

     

    You sound just like I was for years , go to:

        Advice & tips/healthy living/benefits  

    find the topic Flooding sensory overload of the brain. 


    This video explains what’s happening to your brain I found it a big help.

    I also found mindfulness a great help 

     

    Your fortunate you found this site so early I was 8years post SAH before I found it.

    You have to learn to slow down and work around your problems.

    Good luck let us know how you get on.

  7. Congratulations on 22 year’s Louise it is a long time, but you just seem to take it in your stride.

    I agree with you not letting anyone tell you that you can’t do it, you’ve got to find out for your self.

    As Skippy says your posts help allot of people.

    Have a good day.
