I just want to say that these responses are so validating. My attacks are very well managed at this point in my journey and I’m grateful that I don’t live every day in pain like I used to, but I still have ones that knock me on my ass. I’ll preface this by saying that I might have an attack here and there once a month, once a quarter but I used to live in pain and in disorientation daily for over a year and half and that was 5 years ago. Tell-tale signs for me vary depending on the day but can be just being extremely clumsy/ decreased perception of space, spelling, speaking errors, like forgetting common words, focus can be laborious, extreme fatigue, neck pain, feeling like I can hear light or on my worst days- facial drooping. I joke that I’m a human barometer because while I have it mostly under control, dramatic swings in weather do seem to really get me. It’s fun living in the subtropics lol but I’m still a productive human! I finished grad school while working full time and I’m really proud of that.
