Thanks I had a brain aneurysm burst in 2013 thanks to god, my family, musc for pulling me thru all this, I made it and doing good, it left me with fibermaglia, I hurt all over my body, but lm still blessed, I stayed in the hospital for 21 days.
Great information. I survived SAH Sept 2023 and doing well. The doctor and nurses in ICU helped me understand what happened when I wasn’t able to ask the questions. The nursing team was constantly checking on me and my husband who was scared! There were 3 aneurysms, one rupture, two non ruptures. Six month angiogram shows rupture healed well, other 2 have grown. Many options ahead for the moment I feel so blessed for all the persons who watched over.
You will never know how much this video has helped me. My sister is in the ICU right now after an aneurism surgery and I was panicking. You have calmed me down. Thank you🙏
I feel you my mum is in there now

@@universe-Universe-1 It took 2 years for me to get back to work and I'm still recovering. I saw a video where it took a doctor 8 years to fully recover. It's different for each of us, the important thing is to let the healing take it's own pace and to be supported for as long as is needed. Blessings to your mum. 🤍
I had a SAH in Nov 2020, the UK was in lockdown. I slept lots and muddled thro for 2 wks until I then went to the eye hospital and finally got bloods done. The bloods were repeated and I ended up having another stroke in Dec and was hospitalised. Mine were due to endocarditis. I’m very lucky to be alive!!

I had a burst aneurysm 10 years. Out of nothing I had an incredible headache I never experienced before. My ex wife left me lying unconcious. The next day when I woke I still had the headache and I went to the doctor on my bike. My back and neck were hurting as well. The doctor sent me home with painkillers, that didn't help. I didn't sleep for five days because of pain so I went back to the doctor, another doctor who sent me to hospital. I got a lumbal punction and one found I had a hemorrhage. I was taken straight to intensive care and had churgery next morning. I had serious vasospasm. I was lucky I survived. No one took me serious. Very traumatic.
Dr Alex Spiotta saved my wife's life, he is definitely heaven sent. Our Lord above has definitely blessed this man to do his work, thanks for everything you do for every family. He definitely has the best team.
Important to speak to survivors families bout fatigue.
My husband is a critical care medical professional and he dx me having a stroke in Neuro ICU. Everyone ignored him until he found my surgeon. Finally, I was in the CT and I had a cerebral sag and an additional 4 tablespoon bleed. I appreciate Kitty having some training to listen to the family
My husband is a SAH survivor. His happened at the worst time, during COVID in November 2020. He was 54 years old at the time. He had all the typical signs of the aneurysm, really bad headache first, then vomiting several times and stiff neck. But we didn't know what this was, so he just stayed in bed. Then finally one night, he collapsed on the floor in a coma. I called 911 and the ambulance took him to the local hospital. After doing the CT scan, they saw the bleeding in the right frontal cortex. They rushed him by ambulance to UHN Toronto Western Hospital in Canada, which is well known worldwide for neurology. I was a basket case, so worried that I was going to lose my husband, because I heard that many people die from ruptured aneurysms. And as was said here, when I went into the ICU to visit him, I was overwhelmed with what I saw... Tubes coming out of his body in many places, he had the ventilator, and he was sedated to keep him calm, but he still looked scared. There were many complications. He experienced the vasospasms mentioned here. His aneurysm was a different kind, so he had to stay in the hospital for monitoring. The aneurysm had a wide neck, so the coils he had fell out of the aneurysm and within 2 months of the first coiling, he bled again. They recoiled it , but this time, they put a stent under the aneurysm to keep the coils in place. He still could not come home because he had many other complications because of all the medications he was on, bleeding stomach ulcers, which caused anemia, and other serious issues. All told, he was in the hospital for 6 long months. He was lying in bed so much there, that his leg muscles atrophied, and he could not walk. Even when he finally was discharged and came home, he could not walk. But once he came home, that's when his recovery really took off. He fully regained all his memories, speech and his abilities and agility. He walks a bit different because his balance isn't back 100%, but that's it. It's almost like nothing happened to him. We are both very thankful for that. We also thank the team at the hospital for taking such great care of him and keeping me posted about everything they were doing for him.
My husband is in I CU now for that SAH 😢please pray 🙏 he fully recovers like your husband
@@serhumano2829 I'm sorry to hear that. How old is he? Don't give up hope, it's possible he can recover, but it will be a long recovery. Try not to worry. Be there for your husband as much as you can, talk to him, hold his hands and kiss his forehead and cheeks. That is very important and it will help him to recover.
SAH, IVH, hydrocephalus survivor. Thank you
SAH stroke survivor from canada..was in coma when my PCOM artery ruptured in 2021....was in coma for almost month-had complications: CSF build-up so had EVD surgery then endovascular coiling and to secure the coils had to put a stent...had 3 infections after the surgeries: in the lungs (not covid)+C-Diffficile bacteria (so I got diarrhea then infection in the blood so blood transfusion...3 months in 3 hospitals. lost the left eye field of both eyes..my left dide is still weak but it is much better..
How old are you may I ask? My dad is in ICU with this type of brain bleed. He is 71 and I've been not okay at all 😢
my cousin was 44 years old... happened during covid 19... (woken up alone and in fear) sadly she is no longer working as nurse... no longer living with her 2 son's and husban... she is now living in a care center facility... and her husban as moved on with his life... wich is normal being 44 years old too... to this day her husban is taking her out each sunday for a family diner... she can't read... she is recovering memory... sad... sad...
Please mention the severity of the ongoing headaches after a rupture. I have had four ruptures and these headaches are extreme
As a cna in the 90s resident past, omg the smell the taste of iron. But i stayed kept cleaning her, she was alone but i stayed till no more blood.
My first aneurysm got brust in 2020 so pterional craniotomy and microvascular clipping was done. To prevent brusting of my second aneurysm stent (flow divertor) was implanted in 2022 but after somedays it got blocked and gave me ischemic stroke. Now I have 2 clips in brain's left hemisphere &1 stent in brain's right hemisphere.
Thankyou All !
I just lost my wife from a ruptured brain aneurysm, I'm at a total loss.. she was starting to improve after surgery and then a few days later she started going down hill and she didn't make it....the hardest thing ive ever had to go through...

Thank you!
My mom ,77 age on hypertension medicine , who was our everything after my father's death due to cerebral haemorrhage 34 years ago . She suffered aSAH on june 21 st , taken to super speciality hospital in ambulance , on 24 th non invasive coiling surgery ,she lost consciousness after the surgery , stroked again , opened eyes for a second after 6 days, silent aapiration, spo2 decreased suddenly one day ,emergency icu, caught pnemonia patch , antibiotics , tracheostomy , breathing normal after that luckily, shifted back to hometown in icu ambulance on 14 th july hospital with minimum oxygen 2 litres, admitted for nursing care and rigourous physiotherapy, but wrongly admitted with 40 % mechanical ventilation , tjis is tge turning point to worsening. pleural effusion, edema, broncho pneumonia , septic shock etc ..lost the battle on 23 rd july . Was it necessary to undergo surgery when she was conscious talking after SAH . Conservative therapy is better ! Say no to hospitalisation for surgery __is the lesson i leant . Our body heals itself ..it knows!! Trust your body !!
My sister got operated for aneurysm ruptured and was recovering nicely after 7 days. But now she is unconscious suddenly and the Dr. again did operations. What could happen now ?
Mr Durnford @ Southampton hospital uk saved my life after having SAH in 2020
My mum was bleeding durin surgery in subarachnoid hemorrage , she still in hospital 😭😭😭, how long take you to recover?? Any side effects? Plz reply me back. Plz
I had one 24 years ago but a new one has grown on the one that burst what could have caused it to regrow is it because I have a family history of them?
My husband walked into the ambulance told them he had a medical emergency told them it was his head hurting and a lump was in his throat and they argued with him until he ended up dying A-day and a 1/2 later because they delayed everything Why I don't understand why and then I donated his organs did they take him Too soon because what I'm hearing you guys could have fixed it The hospital could have fixed it he was 5 minutes away from a hospital And he went to the hospital's sub unit
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
