loretta963 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hubby has been drinking lots of water since Friday and, so far, no headaches. Could be a fluke, but drinking water cannot hurt. Thanks Jod-dee for ice pack tip too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snootybutnice Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yep, I'm in this bracket too!! Had SAH on 29th January and was in Southampton Hospital until 8th Feb. No aneurysm found and doctors have no idea what caused bleed on brain. Had lots of pressure/pain in head while there so after c.5 days they did an LP (lumbar puncture) and took around 2ml ****** fluid which helped. Then got lots of pain in base of spine with spasms in my bottom and coccyx area from around 5th Feb + odd tremors in legs and right arm, curious bright red dots happening on forehead which doctors said wasn't anything to do with SAH (but never had them before). More recently had bad pain in eyes on 12/2/12 and optician advised that I'd had haemorrhage in left eye and pressure was building up on eyes, so he referred me to GP to ask them to get a specialist to look at me. I was then admitted to Basingstoke hospital on 16/2/12 who then carried out another LP on 17/2/12 and took around 16ml fluid. Now getting darting pain in right eye + not able to always touch tip of nose when I try to (80% of time I'm ok but other 20% hit bridge of nose or under nose which specialist says is "OK and not to worry about it"). Have another follow up in 2 weeks time at Basingstoke Hospital and then an MRI on 28th March at Southampton. Nic x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm here too. Got off light, I figure, although the three weeks in the hospital didn't seem like it at the time. Three CT scans and a four vessel angiogram to rule out an aneurism. I'm all but completely recovered, save for my decrease in stamina, which I'm working on.

Nic x I had those spasms in the hospital too and they were HORRIBLE! At one point one of my sweet nurses was in the middle of the night rubbing my poor spasming gluteals because there was no way she could give me more pain pills. Finally they gave me enough morphine to kick it in the rear...but wow it hurt! Had my SAH on Jan 28 and am still recovering. Looking forward to putting this all behind me.

janicegrewe Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi !This is great!I feel better knowing I am not alone!!mine was"probably an abnormality that rupture", my Drs. could not find it's beginning,but so far I am doing well,mine was December 27,2009.My dr. said he did not know of it happenning again. He said it was the type of injury found in accident victims,but I had not been involved in any! He is older and has lots of experience as he is a nuerologist,and i trust him completely.He has made some of the most difficult choices easier. I see him twice a year.Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbieg Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I had a non-aneurysm SAH In January 2012. Had 2 CTs, one MRI and 2 Angios. The first angio included something called spinning which I felt I lost consciousness for a few minutes the first go they had so they did not do the other two they had planned to do. I felt a bit like what having a small stroke would be like, my lips and left arm went numb for ages. Don't know if anyone else has experienced this. Anyway despite all this they found nothing. Only the lumbar puncture was positive. I was only watching TV laying in bed when it happened, a thunderclap headache just hit me for 10 mins where if I could chop my head off I would have, then sick over and over again with neck pain and bad headache to follow. I had had 3 visual migraines during January before the SAH. I never had a migraine in my life before this. Has anyone else had another SAH after a non-aneurysm SAH as they said I am no more likely to than any normal person. I hope it's true. Lukily mine was a Scale 1 SAH and since being on Stemetil my dizziness and sickness has all but gone. 7 weeks on and apart from mild headaches, some day sleepiness and a bit of insomnia I feel almost like my old self. I hope it lasts as before changing medication I couldn't manage doing anything much at all without feeling woosey headed and exhausted. Aparently our type of SAH is rarer but my hospital had two cases last summer before me and supposedly mine was during 'SAH season'. Good to find this site and meet others the same as me.
