So sorry to hear what you are going through. I had a SAH in March 2015 and one of things that has helped me with nerve pain is acupuncture. It has taken away the pain completely now after 6 sessions. It is amazing, please do try this but it has to be from a recommended experienced person. Itstgebest thing I have done....

Welcome Peter,

This is a good place, I often tell people my BI is similar to a stroke because we all share a lot of the consequences and it's easier for people to understand.

Like Kavib I, too, am having acupuncture. It is helping . My GP pointed me towards Acunpuncture. I think that's funds in the NHS dictate what can be done sometimesLike Kavib I, too am ha

Sorry about that last reply my iPad was playing up so I just sent it before I lost it. Hope it made sense.

Come back, Peter whenever you need to, as the Baron says, we are a friendly bunch xx

Take care Janet x
