  1. I was doing DIY. Half way through replacing my bathroom I felt immense pain behind my eyes, felt queasy, very hot, and had flashing lights in my eyes. I slid downstairs and got my daughter to pass me the phone where I called 999 but passed out before being able to speak. My daughter took over call and the next thing I remember is waking up in hospital the next day.
  2. I was off work on December 1st 2012 replacing my bathroom when all of a sudden I felt the worst pain ever in my head, I was very hot, queasy and felt sick with flashing lights behind my eyes. I slid down the stairs and into my living room where my 13 year old daughter was and told her something was not right with me and to get me the phone. I called 999 and collapsed to the floor. My daughter finished the call to emergency services and that is all I can remember until I woke up in hospital the following day. Paramedics were not helpful as they diagnosed me as suffered from dizziness caused by tile adhesive and It took them over 4 hours to get me to hospital where after a CT scan I was diagnosed with a level 2 subarachnoid haemorrhage. I had Endovascular coiling on 3rd December and stayed on the intensive care ward in Frenchay hospital for 2 weeks being treated for vasospasm with 15 minute obs. At this point I would like to say how fantastic the treatment was from everybody in Frenchay hospital. After 2 weeks I was down graded and moved to a different ward and discharged from hospital just before Christmas. The head pain was constant and almost unbearable throughout my stay in hospital and I still get headaches now usually at the end of the day. After over 4 months now I feel pretty good most of the time but I have changed. I now get really angry at this most ridiculous things and struggle to control my temper. I get upset and secretly cry over nothing and argue a lot with my partner over daft things who has been there and supported me throughout which is really putting a strain on our relationship. I am really struggling being around my children and the slightest thing sets me off. I know what I'm doing is wrong when I'm doing it but can't stop. I am really worried that after surviving the subarachnoid haemorrhage it has turned me into a horrible person that is gradually pushing anyone close to me away and destroying my family. Has anybody else suffered in a similar way to me after a subarachnoid haemorrhage? Is this going to be permanent or will I gradually go back to the way it was before? Thanks for reading and any replies would be great fully received.
