  1. Hey! So glad I found this group! Just a short couple of weeks ago on May 11, 2013 at 8:15 pm I was headed out to dinner after church with my daughter and her friend. I felt fine the entire day, but had noticed something different in church that night that I never do! I caught myself dozing off several times during the service. I felt rally tired and had a slight headache. I chalked it off to having a long day and was hungry. I drove my daughter and her friend to a Mexican rest for Cinco demio. As soon as we pulled into the parking spot my headache got worse. I got out and took a couple of steps and BAM! I was hit with the worst headache of my entire life! I told my daughter to call her dad, that something was wrong with me. He had to come get us because I couldn't drive due to an excruciating headache. We made the decision to walk into the Rest. In case I needed more help. My husband rushed to us but not soon enough. I had my daughter call 911. She was scared! I was scared! Long story short, my husband arrived just in time to talk to 911. Ambulance came, rushed me to small town Hosp ER. 30 mins later, after CT was taken, I was flown to STL University Hosp. I spent one long week in ICU there after running many tests on me over and over. I was so very blessed to have not had an aneurysm! I was diagnosed with a benign bleed PMSAH. Thankfully I am home now recovering well. I am experiencing lower back pain, short term memory loss, mild headaches, blurred vision and fatigue. I just feel so lucky and blessed to be here to tell my story. I go for my follow up appt with my neuro dr on June 4. I will have another CT scan then as well. I'm looking forward to driving again. I am taking Keppra to keep me for having seizures. I'm also seeing my GP tomorrow as well. I am 51 yo in great health. Dr said it was a weak blood vessel in my brain and this could happen to anyone. It was a spontaneous bleed. Thank you for reading my story. I look forward to getting to know you all. I have to admit, I am worried about this happening again even tho my dr tells me there is a very slight chance of it ever happening again.
