Hi nyx

I had a SAH in June, spent 6 weeks in hosptial and didnt remember anything much. I have two daughters who were very worried about me but the one piece of advice they were given was to be patient - easier said than done I know! I was coiled and had a shunt and am now making good progress. Take care and PM me if you wish.

love Caroline

No one has told me not to drink coffee, will ask the consultant today when I go to Nottingham

Thanks

Caroline

Hi

I had a shunt inserted due to hydrocephalus after my SAH in June, does anyone know how long I can expect the shunt to be fault free? are there any other problems I should be be aware of?

Thanks

Caroline

All done, good luck with the project

Hi Shiree

I feel like this too, had SAH in June, think should I do this just in case! should I tell my daughters how much they mean to me, should I write it down somewhere for them to find? get emotional when thinking about it! When I go to the gym I worry because my blood pressure might go up! we were renovating our house but this has gone on hold until after Christmas, then another minute think what the point? might not be here! the responses here help me also - so thanks for posting!

Caroline

Interesting - think her brain was definitely affected!

Hi

I lost well over 2st when in hosptial and am struggling to put some back on! any tips?

Caroline

Hi nicki

I would love to go back to work, but unable to drive at the moment, I would be more than happy to work at home for some of the time, perhaps I'll suggest it! hopefully it will be a phased return after christmas - I work for Local Education Authority. You take care and enjoy the concern. am sure your company are just looking out for you.

Love

Caroline

I know the theory behind Saunas and blood pressure but does anyone know if having a sauna for 5 minutes will do any harm! I find them so relaxing!

Caroline

Hi Beth

I had my SAH in June, making good progress, am back at the gym and walking the dog twice a day. This is a great site and has been a trememdous help to me - if only knowing that there are others out there who understand!

Before my SAH I used to take a herbal remedy called Maca it used to help with night sweats and give me lots of energy, theres a website check it out

Hi

I had my SAH in June, my daughters have been brilliant, but when we went shopping the other week, it was like I had lost my 'authority' and 'control' over them! because I was replying on them I suppose. They are 27 and 25. They do care though and ring me often!

Caroline

I was sent home with a book and told that I would see the consultant 2 months later which I did, I have researched all info via internet and of course BTG which has been a great help, I still feel tired and lack of energy but otherwise ok. Good to chat

Caroline

Hi

Has anyone noticed that time goes very quickly? the days all roll into one! it seems like yesterday that I came out of hospital but is nearly 3 months! especially when I used to live my life by a diary!

Caroline

Caroline
