HI STEVE I WAS LUCKY JIM TOOK A VOLUNTARY LAYOFF FOR 3 MONTHS. I SEEN 2 NEUROS BEFOR I WAS DISCHARGED I HAD TO BE ABLE TO WALK AROUND THE WARD, BUT AFTER I WAS HOME I TOOK A DOWN TURN AND WAS HAVING SUCH AWFUL SPASIMS I COULDN'T HARDLY WALK OR EAT. JIM AND I WENT TO THE STORE RECENTLY HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO GET SOMETHING AND ONCE OUT OF SITE I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHERE HE WENT. WE NOW HAVE A MEET POINT WHEN WE GO TO THE STORE SO IF I CAN'T FIND HIM I GO THERE, SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A CHILD. KAREN GREAT ADVICE ON THE RAILS, THEY HELP. BEST OK LUCK XXX EVELYN

BUT AUDIO ON DISC SAID SUBARACHNOID HAEMORRHAGE LEFT WORSE THAN RIGHT WHAT EVER THAT MEANS NO ONE EVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT RIGHT. TRIED TO GO TO THE NORTHWEST BRAIN AND SPINE WEB SITE THIS IS DR WEB SITE, MY DR IS NO LONGER THERE AND SITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. I COULD CALL THEM BUT THAT MAKES ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, NOT SURE WHY. I WILL KEEP CHECKING ON WEB SITE AND TRY TO SEND EMAIL AND ASK QUESTIONS. SORRY I CAN'T BE MORE SPECIFIC. XXX EVELYN

HI KAREN MY SLEEP PATTERNS HAVE TAKEN ON CHANGES I STARTED OFF I COULDN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT AND WOULD ONLY GET 4-5 HOURS IN THE MORNING AND I TOOK NAPS NOW I HAVE TIMES WERE I WILL SLEEP 10 -12 HOURS AND OTHER TIMES I SLEEP 6-7 WHEN I SLEEP LONG I DREAM VERY VIVED BUT WHEN I SLEEP SHORT I DON'T. I NO LONGER NEED TO TAKE NAPS. BUT IF SAY I GO OUT SHOPPING WHEN I GET HOME I NEED TO SIT AND VEGITATE FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR AND I DON'T LIKE TO BE TALKED TO AT THAT TIME IT MAKES ME IRRATIBLE. HOPE THIS HELPS EVELYN

WELCOME TO BTG VAUGHAN GLAD YOU FOUND US. YES IT IS ISOLATING AFTER SAH, AND IT IS GREAT HAVING BTG WHERE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH. X EVELYN

I HAVE HAD MIGRANES FOR YEARS PRIOR TO SAH AND HAVE HAD SOME SINCE I DON'T GET THEM SO FREQUENTLY NOW. MY AURA WAS A MARBLED VISION AROUND MY EYESIGHT, AND AS YOU PUT IT KAREN NOT FEELING LIKE I WAS REALLY THERE. BUT NO ONE HAS EVER LINKED THE TWO TOGETHER. SO I FIND THIS INTERESTING READING. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION MICHELLE YOU OPENED UP AN INTERESTING TOPIC. HUGS EVELYN

HI TINA I DID HAVE TROUBLE FOR AWHILE I WOULD LAY AWAKE ALL NIGHT NOT BEING ABLE TO SHUT MY MIND OFF WITH THOUGHTS AND FEARS, BUT THEN I WOULD FALL ASLEEP IN THE MORNING FROM EXHAUSTION, BUT ONLY SLEEP FOR 4-5 HOURS. I SLOWLY GOT MYSELF TURNED AROUND AS TIME PASSED. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WORKED FOR ME WAS HUMMING IN MY MIND BUT NOT A FAMILIAR HUM JUST SPORADIC SO MY MIND WOULD NOT LOCK ON IT. NOT SURE THIS HELPS, I HOPE YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT DOES. WISHING YOU PLEASANT DREAMS EVELYN
