| When I was 13, I started having severe migraines and blurry vision. After an MRI they stated I had a venous angioma, that probably wasn’t what was causing the issues. My doctor basically said there was nothing she could do. Three years later, while in class, I had blurry vision again. I did not think too much of it because at that point I was used to it. During class I realized I couldn’t even type into my calculator. I was trying to take notes but my hand wasn’t working. I went to the office to have them call my mom. I couldn’t even give the receptionist my mom’s number because I could barely speak. Luckily she had my mom’s updated number on file. I went and threw up in the bathroom and waited for my mom. My mom picked me up and noticed my speech was slurred. Because of this, she immediately took me to the ER. The pain I was in was unreal, I still have never experienced anything like it. The ER workers were shocked because I was a 16 year old girl having stroke like symptoms. They even brought in a chapel person to pray for me. Luckily I am okay, but it really was one of the scariest experiences of my life. |
