  1. Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it. I am so pleased I stumbled upon this fab site. It's so helpful...just knowing you are not alone. Nothing seems to stop the "drunken" feeling. It has got worse over the months. Been to gp so much and never got anywhere! I am at the point now where I think I will have to live with it forever! Lovely! How lovely what your daughter said to you "welcome back". Mine had to bath me and wash my hair!!! Who's the mamma!!! Kids are fab when things go wrong. You see that they can help you....reverse roles,even if for a short time. Thanks again for reply. X
  2. Hi Louise. Thanks for replying. I have read about the existance of Headway but know nothing about it. Up to date I have had nobody to talk to. Nobody understands about the condition and it's effects it has. I personally never milk the situation. All I want to do is get on with life and enjoy every breath I take. I have a life threatening condition and that is that!! No amount of moaning will make it go away. I joke about it sometimes and people don't appreciate the strange humor. I find it helps! Will stay in contact and always reply. Hoping I get it right!
  3. Thanks Penny and Mary for the responses. It's really comforting to hear from others in the same boat. Sorry to bear life is so bad Penny...the dizziness! It's debilitating. I want to lie down all the time! I have no idea where the bleed occured. It seemed that once leaving hospital that was that. Just had to deal with it alone. It's very frightening knowing another aneurysm is lurking...ready to blow at any time. My attitude is live life to the full. So much so I just purchased a little sporty coupe with all my savings! Naughty but nice!
  4. Hello. My names Jude and I suffered a SAH on Independance day in 2010. Much to my dismay I had two aneurysms and only one could be coiled. According to the Surgeon I would have popped my clogs at worst or ended up being speechless and paralised down one side! Now I have to cope with the knowledge that I could die any time. Not a wonderful thought but I try to be stoical and get on with life. I find myself getting very annoyed when people are whinging and complaining about the stupidest of things. I never really air these thoughts as I am unconfrontational at all times. I am sure many others who have suffered feel the same. We need to put things into prospective I think! I am hoping that over time I will be able to converse with other sufferers. I have felt very isolated since it happened. Nobody understands and I feel because it was 3 years ago I should be totally fine.....well guess what...I am not!! Dizzy all the time when moving. Memory failing. Tired easily etc etc etc. One thing this has taught me though...live life to the full whenever you can. Life is so precious and we are all so vulnerable...even if we dont realise it!
  5. I was on holiday in Yorkshire back in 2010. Having only spent one day there I suddenly felt very very strange! I thought it sensible to call an ambulance and thank goodness I did! I spent the next 2 weeks in Leeds general. One coiled aneurysm and one too dangerous to do. My claim to fame is I was on the same ward as Richard Hammond from Top Gear. Not much of a conselation for having my whole life turned upside down! I can remember the day I was wheeled down to theatre as if it were yesterday. My daughter drove up from home...about 260 miles. She had lost her 2 year old toddler in January, 5 months previously and all I could focus on was the fact she was going to lose her mummy too! My friend had come up with her and I can remembering her saying "can I have your car if you snuff it"!! I replied "fight it out between the two of you"! This actually cheered me up as I have a strange sense of humour...laugh in the face of adversity!! It works! Nearly three years down the line and I am still here to tell the tale. I suffer from dreadfull dizziness and have done ever since. Nobody seems willing to find any answeres and get to the bottom of it. Doctors just said I was depressed and gave me anti depressents. I could scream! I know why I was feeling lousy. Physical problems. Not depression. All I have wanted to do is get on with my life. Hard when you are realing about like a drunkard!! Has anybody else suffered these vile feelings? I would be interested to hear. Jude
