Hi David,

 

I hope you have had some clarification from your doctor/consultant and are feeling more reassured.  
After several years of scans monitoring of my previously ruptured and coiled aneurysm where I suffered a SAH, they had recently referred to my aneurysm as ‘recurring’ - meaning in my case it had started filling with blood and was up to 30% due to the coils compacting. I have just undergone further treatment for the recurring aneurysm and am relieved to be back and recovering. But some people just have monitoring and no further treatment needed. 
 

I’m not sure if this is the case with you, that’s the aneurysm that has recurred, as they put it, as you may have experienced symptoms of a second bleed if it was the bleed that had recurred, and would have probably required urgent attention if this was the case, but is always better to clarify something like this as I can only share my own experience. 
 

I completely get the not being able to read and retain although that is improving all the time, however I am still very sensitive to noise so music is out for me! 

Many thanks for your words and it makes sense now. I have had recurring severe headaches and nausea now for around 6 months but didn't think anything about it until I received notification from neurologist, still waiting on my GP getting back to me.

As for reading and processing I definitely struggle. I love listening to music but only on my level, but don't like noisy pubs etc or noisy grandkids in the house and I get angry with myself when I shout at them to keep the noise down, they are too young to understand really.

Take care.

Hello Davie and also a warm welcome to your return to the BTG site.

 

You will certainly get lots of support from our members and feel you are not alone in dealing with the various complications from being a post SAH survivor.

 

Keep strong and never give up.

Telling of how you face your struggles will greatly help others too.

 

Davie, you said you visited BTG back in 2015, so I did a little sleuthing.

This certainly looks like your contact with us back then. I hope it jogs your memory. 😊

Hi Jess

Thank you for replying,yeah I should ask my GP, with regards to reading,it's been 6 years now and still no better,I do things like scrabble,but due to having to concentrate for a period of time then that's when the headaches and nausea begins ,it's like a vicious circle but physically I'm fine,and I never forget I'm a lucky one.

Take care.

Hi 

My name is Davie, I'm 63 years old and now medically retired following a SAH in 2015 which was coiled, unfortunately I have been left with cognitive memory issues,and chronic headaches and fatigue.

I found this site a couple of years back but don't remember anything about that time I was on, and because I have my struggles at times like many on this site,no one from the outside seem to understand so if you don't mind me coming back on I would be most grateful...and I have now written my email and password down on a post it Note so that I won't forget.

Regards

David

Hi everyone.

I had a SAH 2015 (coiling)and have had regular mri/ma scans,but on my recent scan in July, the report back from neuroscience dept says that I now have a recurrence of the bleed,but nothing else was mentioned in the letter and God knows how long I now need to wait until a decision is made on how it will be dealt with.

Has anyone had a similar experience.

I am now 63 years old and was medically retired after working since I was 15 because I failed a cognitive assessment by employer even though I knew something was wrong as I have difficulty processing anything that's written such as books,newspapers etc,so now I listen to music most of the time and few other things since my original operation.

Thank you in advance .
