Well Hi.

To be fair to the doctor, he did try to refer me to the mental health team, but seeing as they are imaginary it wasn’t of much help.

If I were 50 or even 40 I would have been taken seriously, but a 21 year old can’t have a stroke, obviously they’re just anxious.

I literally couldn’t speak, my face was drooping, and half my body felt numb. No imaging done because “radiation is bad for you” and “you had an mri 1.5 years ago so nothing could have developed in that time”

I got my ablility to walk back to basically normal in like, October (was using crutches between), But in early January I near completly lost my ability to walk. I can only go about twenty steps with the crutches now :(

Thankfully got my hands on a wheelchair in Febuary and it's been really good actually, I hadn't realised how much I'd been struggling with walking for years now. I can now do two (2!!) entire things in one day!!

Saying that, I am overall in a pretty bad way out medically, I'm waiting on like 4 medical referals and like 2 council ones, so I'm gonna be dealing with appointment scheduling for at minimum the next year :(
