  1. It is now more than 6 years since my SAH and I really have to do something about my awful memory and concentration problems.I thought I was covering up or laughing it off so no one else noticed. Not so. It has recently caused problems in with my partner and i. I forget important things.I just can't recall ever being told things. Even a few seconds later I don't know what has been said. Just today I was so shocked by what I've been told ( no need for details) that I've made an appointment with the doctor. I know memory problems are a common result of SAH and similar, but ignoring,hoping things will get better,and thinking others don't notice is only fooling myself. Any comment or advise would be good.Will give update on progress after chat with doctor. Good luck Baz
  2. 6 years since my SAH aged 50.Headache for a couple of weeks. Went to GP, hospital, GP again I knew there was something wrong ,But just got pain killers.Finally I collapsed at work while fitting some poor woman's kitchen.Gave her a bit of a fright. In to hospital. Coil in. 3 months off work,which i now know was not long enough. Back at work I had trouble understanding drawings which I had to work from,sometimes I couldn't recall everyday words and had bad headaches.One year later the hospital told me I had Horner's Syndrome Which is something to do with my eyes. I no longer do that sort of work. I'm doing something less stressful. I'm fitter than ever. I've lost weight, stopped smoking, take exercise and drink very little.However my memory is getting awful. I have to write everything down.I can't recall what has been said a couple of minutes ago and repeat a task I did only 5 minutes ago. I've set off to drive some where only to find I'm heading in a different direction. This really annoys my wife. That's my history, better than many. Just have to get on top of the memory thing. Good luck to all. Barry
