ninja Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hi All I am bringing up the old subject. I am exactly 2 years post coiling and was feeling quite well and the exhaustion I thought may now be a thing of the past but no its back with a vengeance. I'm back to sleeping in the day and going to bed early, I do suffer with arthritis of the spine which doesn't help. I am due for my check up next month and was hoping to give my consultant a good account of myself so I feel a bit let down. Anybody else had the return of the dreaded exhaustion.

Karen Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hi John, I'm 2.5 years post SAH and yep, I still get the odd week where the headache and dreaded fatigue return with a vengeance...... I would say that the frequency, is one week out of every three or four. It does wear you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 YES, for me I think its always going to be that way due to the damage that was done. When I have good times I just enjoy them...... Take care Louise.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yasmin Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 me too the exhaustion hits me at least once a month and I just have to give into it, mind you I'm not even a year post op yet so maybe I'm pushing myself a bit too much. yasmin x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yasmin Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Hi there did you have to be re coiled? I'm really worried about my next MRI as the last one showed my annie had grown Yasmin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hi I don't think it matters what procedure you had we all suffer from the headaches and fatigue. Like Karen I have a few good weeks at a time then tend to get a bad one. Janet x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Hi It seems to be easing off now so I'm hoping for a good period now, these aneurysms are sly old things, you start to feel good then wham it won't leave you alone. Think I'll venture out next couple of days and join the millions of shoppers and treat myself. I'm due to see consultant next month as apparently I have a small space that was not filled with coils and they want to see if I need more, never a dull moment!!!

Slim Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Hi John, yeah Fatigue is definitely the F word. I get hit when I've a lot going on (especially when kids visiting) and if generally run down. Never as bad as orginally and I bounce back a lot quicker. It still is a kick in the teeth though, when I'm in good form I forget sometimes that the SAH ever happened, when Fatigue hits its a big reality check. But as i said above recovery is a lot quicker and I think body now is a lot quicker telling us when we need a rest.

Guest yasmin Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Hi John Let me know how you get on with your hospital visit next week as I've got one in Jan they said my annie had grown 3mm? and I to may need more coils. i am really worried about it don't want to go through another op. At least yours is before Xmas mines not until 15th Jan all this waiting gets you down Good Luck Yasmin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi Yasmin I'm in the same boat as you mines not till after Christmas. I've got an MRI scan on 18th Jan 07 and I have to see consultant on 24th Jan 07 so in fact I'll be interested in how you got on but keep your chin up and have a good Christmas. With regards to exhaustion I managed to walk around Cardiff today so I must have had a bad week last week hopefully I'll have a couple of good weeks now. I do have arthritis as well so it may have been a flare up of that also. Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yasmin Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi John I will keep you informed, me too with the arthartis must be the cold weather but did'nt have it before my SAH Yasmin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pam Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi Yasmin, sorry for the delayed response. Re your question did I have to be recoiled? No, I had three seperate aneurysms all unruptured, all found by accident when they were doing a scan to check for something else which fortunately did not exist ! but they found the annies instead!!. Anyway all three annies have just been coiled once and all my MRA's have shown them to be fine, non have needed recoiling. Best of luck with your scan, I know how anxious I get at check up time. Keep in touch and let me know the results, and sorry again for the delayed response pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donna79 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I thought i would add this to the post lately i seem to keep saying that old saying I DONT FEEL RIGHT i am ALOT more tired and even though i could sleep sometimes i cant because i have a 2 year old x x soon has he goes to bed so do i but he still gets up at 6.30-7am. I am finding this hard because I do like to socialise alot with my friends and go out with my hubby so i do fight it and i know i shouldnt but i still need my life xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hey Donna You will get your life back, but at the moment you need to concentrate on recovery. Your body needs rest cos when you're asleep is the only time that your brain isn't workingas hard and can take some time and energy to repair - another reason why you feel tired all the time - cos the brain is constantly trying to heal and when you're up and about doing stuff - the brain is using energy for that aswell. Your health has to come before socialising at the moment I'm afraid - but you will be able to go out again and not got tired - just be patient. Take care hun and stay positive Love Sami xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
