Hi John,my heart goes out to you. I tremember only too well that 6 month after feeling when I was tired of it all, wished I was like before and was scared that I wouldn't get any better. Improvement seemed at a stand still. I can only tell you that for me now 18 months on and alot of the problems you describe that I relate to have almost disappeared. My head gets cold in the winter and hot in the summer ( I haven't had a shunt etc.) and I had creepy feelings in my head and often still do. Hang on in there be as patient as possible,think positive. Your a survivor John a courageous person who's come a long long way in 6 months. Give it more time. I send you big hugs and lots empathy and loads of luck. Maggie x

Hi Mark sorry I can't help with the crit/ill/ploicy either. Make sure to look after yourself too,you need to get plenty of rest you have been through a traumatic time! Tell Annette that 3 months is no time at all and to try and be a patient, patient and as frustrating as it is take baby steps. Love and Best Wishes Maggie x

Thank you Vivien. Writing my story made me face up to what happened and has highlighted the fact that I have not fully come to term with it all. Even after all this time! Maggie x

Hi Zoe,remember to look after yourself it is early days for Richard and for you too. Often the carer forgets they need to rest. I know my family where exhausted bless them they had no respite. I send my Best Wishes to both you and to Richard for a trouble free time from now on. Maggie x

Hi, I was recently told by the hospital that some still say an SAH is a stroke but it isn't. Maybe it comes under the same umberella so to speak. They are researching more and more so I guess it's important to seperate . I was told at the time that I hadn't had a stroke but had an SAH. When I asked if I could have a flu jab my doc said I wasn't on the 'at risk list' cos I haven't had a stroke! Personally I felt better knowing that it was one or the other It made more sense somehow!

Hi Karen,
I was 58yrs old when I had my SAH due to a burst aneurism in the left posteria communication artery. I had it coiled with platinum.

Hi Kate, A warm welcome to you. I think it's safe to say most of us here can relate to your frustrations regarding our ' hidden illness' I know I do. I've started to believe alot of people are frightened to think about what we have had and simply can't deal with it! But I can assure you you will find alot of support here. Looking forward to hering more from you. Maggie x :redface:
