  4. Hi everyone Ihave been reading some of the behind the gray site messages for about anhour this afternoon and decided to register.My name is Dee and had my SAH. on a glorious sat morning about five weeks ago.Iwas taking part in a cyclosportive which was a 100 mile bike ride over Dartmoor.After about 18 mls at the bottom of a very steep uphill climb I had a terrible headache and it was just like you read and hear about like being hit on the back of the head with a hammer.I managed to stumble off of my bike and sat by the side of the road with my head in my hands.I did not have any idea what it was other than a bad headache, After a while I heard a voice ask if I was ok the woman was out for a ride on her horse and was infact a Doctor. I explained all I had was a headache and she thought I might be dehydrated if only. I managed to ride another 30 mls to a feed station where I could not cycle any further. I still didn't think it was anything more than a bad headache. I drove the 70 mls to my home in Barnstaple N. Devon. When I got home I didn't say anything to my wife Tina. That evening the headache eased off butI got a stiff neck. I still didn't tell my wife. The following thursday I finally gave into the headache and went to see my G.P. After telling my GP the story he made me go to the hospital for a C.T.scan which didn't show anything but the lumber puncture showed blood in all three samples. Then starts the rollercoaster ride Iwas wisked off by ambulance to Derriford ICU. After being made stable I was operated on and had coils fitted. Now comes the taking it easy worrying and generally getting better over the next few months.Iwould like to thank my wife Tina for helping me through that life changing bike ride in september. kind regards DEE......
