I am 33 and had 2 aneurysms, 1 ruptured and 1 didn't. When the rupture occurred I had a thunderclap headache and that was it. I still went to my stats class. The next day I started vomiting and couldn't move my neck so we actually thought I had meningitis. My BF took me to the ER and we discovered the bleed. I had surgery but they only clipped the ruptured one. I don't recall going to surgery or the week after but I was very out of it, I was almost put on a feeding tube because i didn't eat for 4 days. A week after I left the hospital I returned to the ER with a headache and nausea, it turns out I developed hydrocephalus which is common after aneurysm surgery. I had a second surgery to place a shunt and clip the ochre aneurysm. I am a few weeks out of that surgery now and I am slowly getting better. I am lucky that I won't have any defects from this whole ordeal other than my scars.
