I was sat in my office at work 10th Dec 2012 the strangest sensation followed by an all mighty headache. I staggered out my office was violently sick. All I did as soon as I got home was sleep. The next day the headache did not go or get any better, my neck was now painful, eyes painful to touch and painful to look far left and right. The antibiotics the doctor prescribed for what he said was an infection were making no difference and now I wore a flight eye mask as I could not stand the light.
My Mum called the doctor for a home visit who sent me straight to hospital. The first 24hrs was horrific! Although as soon as I arrived they said I needed a scan and a lumber puncture they did nothing, no scan, no pain relief! Strangely, after the scan I was transported to high dependency at Sheffield. Now things were moving! Further scans showed two aneurysms the one that had burst on the right and another on the left. My first coiling was 17th Dec and what a difference!
My second coiling was 13th Feb and I am still waiting for a consultants appointment to find out when I can drive, go back to the gym and think about work… I know I am not ready yet due to the extreme tiredness, shooting pains in my head, and headaches.
