anderss77 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hello. I appoligise if my english is a little bit bad, but it's my second language. I had my SHA 4 years and 1 day ago, at 05 december 2005, at around 0100 in the morning. I was 28 years old. I came home from Korea 5 minutes before the aneurysm burst. They don't operate SHA at my local hospital, so they sent my with an ambulaceplane to Oslo where they coiled the aneurysm. After 4 years of trying different kinds of jobs and jobtraining, it was decided to give me an early retirement, at the age of 32. I have big problems with fatigue, some headaces and sometimes I'm a little bit sound sensitive. I allso have some cognitive problems. Strangely enough, it took me allmost 4 years to find this webpage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myratas Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi Anders Welcome to BTG, never mind the language, your English is good. I think we all suffer from fatigue and other SAH related problems too so we do understand what you are going through. I also have some relatives living in Oslo and maybe I will be visiting Norway next year if my health allows that to happen Hope to hear from you some more. Take care.

rod123 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi Anders, I hav'nt had an sah myself,i'm a carer for my wife who had an sah 8 months ago she suffers from fatigue, mobilty due to balance problems, slow thought process, a few other things, you however are a bit further in your recovery and i know there are other people on here who are further into recovery than 8 months and still experience fatigue ect so i will just say welcome, i'm sure you'll find some advice here Good luck.

bogbrush Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi Anders, Welcome to behindthegray. Fatigue seems to be one of the most common legacies of SAH. Most suffer with it even after many years. Don't worry about your English, I can understand it perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi Anders Welcome to BTG as Myra has already said you're English is very good. The dreaded fatigue is always an issue with us I also suffer with nerve pain in my head which will probably always be with me. I'm lucky though because I do manage to work part-time but it can be quite challenging at times. Look forward to hearing more from you.

perrycornish Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Welcome Anders so glad that you have now found us! That must have been very tough to cope with early retirement at 32! I will let you into a secret your English is about 100% better than my Norwegian;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hello Anders and welcome to behind the gray! Glad that you have found us and I also had my SAH in the same year as you .... July 2005. Think that I started this website about a year later, in July 2006. I think that the problems that you are still experiencing, are common to most of us here. However, mine have improved, but I'm not back to normal pre- SAH energy levels. So perhaps, I've just adjusted myself to how my life is now. Do you have any hobbies to keep you busy?

tennissmithy Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi Anders Welcome to BTG, your English is great so no worries there. I was only 27 when I had my SAH, it seems so young but we got through it!! I struggle with tiredness too but have to work full time to pay the student loans, oh how i dream to go part time.

anderss77 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Hi AndersI also suffer with nerve pain in my head which will probably always be with me. I think I allso suffer from something similar. The only problem is that I'm not able to describe realy how it feels. It's just a weird feeling that goes throug my head many times every day. Not like headache. Karen. I have a dog to keep med busy. A small cairn terrier with his own opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi Anders Your English is fine, honestly. I think we all suffer from fatigue and even now, three years on, I still get days when I feel completely wiped out. Hope you get a lot from this site - it's helped me a great deal. Where in Norway do you live? I have family in Algard - my dad's brother (my uncle) moved there about 30 years ago. I've visited a couple of times an also went to Stavanger, Kristian Sands and skiing in Hovden - it's a beautiful country. Hope to hear more from you soon.

anderss77 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I just need to take everything in small doses. Not to much tv. Not to much radio. Don't read to much newspapers, and not spending to much time with other people. If I follow these rules, my head don't get to bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi Anders and welcome to BTG. Your English is great and the people on here are very helpful. They even understand me and I am Scottish. I also have 2 dogs, Jack the Jack Russell and Barney who is a big dog who sadly does not know either his mum or dad and the vet is fed up guessing what type of dog he is. You seem to have built some coping strategies. Hope to speak soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
