Glad i read this i feel like ive got a headache most days sometimes its bad and my eyes hurt. Thought i was a hypocondriac(spelling not great). SAH was august 2012 early days still. Thanks Julie.

Hello Donna,as i'm a new member of BTG i've been reading through a lot of threads i came across yours and wanted to tell you i flew to fuetaventure(spelling.lol)at xmas 2012 just 4 mths after my SAH.I was nervous if i'm honest but was fine.I made myself go for the sake of my husband and 12yr old daughter and it was our first xmas away ever.Also i know its early days for me but i still have a good cry.The thing is everyone thinks your back to normal but the worry is in the back of your mind.I hope you're feeling better.

I wish i'd seen this thread months ago.SAH was August 2012.Surrendered license to dvla straight away.Was told had to wait 6months to drive. December2012 saw consultant at hospital said no reason not to drive was up to dvla. February 2013 coming up to 6months i telephoned dvla to confirm they had heard back from consultant and could i drive.yes they had heard back.Then had an eyetest.thats fine. I was told that if my doctor or consultant said i was ok to drive then i could even though dvla hadnt said yes yet. So while all this has been ongoing (and still is ) i could have driven since december as that was when i saw him. Confused!! Anyway dvla sent a covering letter to me just incase i have to produce my licence,which they still have. So im back on the road again.
