I survived a subarachnoid hemorrhage + iih In December 37yo/f
Since then I’m struggling with severe bouts of random anxiety
Anyone else? Tips to help? It’s really bad
Everyone says I’m so luck I survived but I’m suffering
My tbi was in December. I still have to wear rose colored glasses inside , too much noise puts me in a panic 😫. Anyone else?
Tomorrow Marks 6 months since my subarachnoid hemorrhage , ICU, EVD, IIH, Coil and Shunt (37yo/F)
My first day home, my head was cut open. I had raging headaches and had to take Tylenol extra strength every six hours.
I couldn’t look at a bright light
Everyone on TV sounded like children from my audio processing
Today… I am back at work and do pretty well with bright lights if I’m wearing tinted glasses… I use rose colored from rainbow optx and I highly recommend
I like to keep my AirPods in case sound gets overwhelming (even if I keep them off)
I am back at work… I am driving… I just became a dance instructor… I just went my first week without Tylenol… I’m having some challenges with making appointments as the medical system is so numbers focused but learning to advocate for myself
I just wanted to make this post to say do not give up! The neurologist I spoke with said that my recovery will be measured in months not days or weeks so if you are new dealing with this type of a situation, I want you to know you are going to get better day by day
I don’t know if I will ever be exactly at my baseline, but I know I’m not going down without a fight XOXO
My head hurts during the storms after getting a shunt anybody else have this problem? Do you get them before during end after or tell me about them thank you.
