  1. Hello Paul, I'm glad you found this site too! It's Helpful, comforting and very friendly! I'm a newbie too. They haven't found reason for my sah 4 weeks ago either. My angiogram was fine and not as bad as I led myself to believe from looking up all sorts on the various search engines (naughty girl!). I was given a lot of information including the procedure and sensations I might experience on the day and that helped me very much. I was able to go home few hours after. My head hurts too sometimes and definitely tells me when I have done too much! All the comments are so right about drinking lots of water and resting. Alison xx
  2. Thank you so much for all for your replies and really good advice. I feel as though today is a big day (with returning to work & getting on with things), I think I'm excited:)! I will let you know how it goes! Xx
  3. I have read some of the stories here of what many people have gone through and the strength they have had to continue. I am so grateful to have found this site and community with help, support and friends. My name is Alison and I live in Devon. On the 20th December I bombed up the motorway some 350 miles to the hospital where my sister had been rushed with terminal cancer. We were all told to get there asap to say our goodbyes. It was a month from her diagnosis. She was in A&E. I made it within plenty of time but didn't get to say goodbye at the end because I then had an sah. I thought it might have been because of the shock/stress? I was taken from that hospital to Addenbrookes in Cambridge where they did a CT and Angiogram but havent found anything. I have an appointment with the consultant in a week's time. I probably realise that I have two things to come to terms with. My sister's death and my sah. I am returning to work tomorrow part time. Mostly because I can't bear to be on my own and think about things but also because I need things to be normal again. I cry very easily now and am pretty emotional. My head hurts and I feel sick sometimes if I do too much. I have had my partner with me since it happened and tomorrow he is going away for a week with work. I am dreading being on my own. I don't want to tell him how scared I am of being alone. Still, perhaps it is confidence I need which I may well get going back to work. I smoked right up to the day this happened, so I havent smoked since then (the memory of not being able to walk or talk is toooooo scary!), I used to drink quite a lot socially but have only had a couple of drinks since the sah and it just doesn't taste the same!! So, this is me saying hello. Alisonx
