Lasting already taking medication for anxiety, so he attributed his condition to a possible depression. “I convinced myself that it was simply like that now,” he admits. But as the symptoms worsened, including strong headaches and extreme emotional changes, he decided to consult a doctor.

“They told me that the headaches were normal in women and that I watched it. I felt completely ignored,” he says. In July, in a routine check, he discovered that he had climbed 13 kilos. “The doctors only talked about my weight, age and gender. They didn’t listen to me.”

The forgetfulness continued. “I could no longer follow Taylor Swift’s songs. My clothes no longer had left,” he says.

An accident that leads to clinical review

It is an anomalous set of blood vessels that can bleed or cause cerebrovascular seizures and accidents. “At first they thought it was an aneurysm because I was bleeding. It was very confusing. The first thing I thought when they told me was that I was going to die.”

Due to the location of cavernoma, it is not possible to surgically remove it. Lasting living with constant migraines and requires occupational therapy to maintain balance. “They told me that I had to start living carefully. I live with fear and uncertainty. At any time I could have a spill, lose speech or memory”
