Christmas and New Years has passed and I walked into the new Year of 2013 with joy and happiness. This was going to be my year. I moved out into an awesome apartment, enrolled into doing Film & Television, going to make some new friends, lots of parting and I am closer to my partner Jessica as we have a long distance relationship. I couldn't wait to start University as I didn't do VCE and it was a miracle that I got into it as a mature aged student but I battled the system for 4 years working for businesses and creating a profile for myself.
Around Friday 5th January I was starting to feel the head problems again. But this time I couldn't contain myself. Even the sound of the air conditioner was making me going crazy. I remember this really well, because I was still kinda convinced I had sinus in my head. So I was using old ancient remedies such as Eucalyptus oil in a hot steam bowl with towel. It really did make a difference for about an hour. I would hop into the shower and come out and hope into bed shaking not bothered to get dressed or give a care in the world if the sheets were wet. I would wake up on the floor somehow and feel better the next day. This is NOT normal. I am convinced I dont have Migraines and at nightime I can hear a noise inside my head like a 'tap' 'tap' 'tap' in my front side of my head.
From Friday 5th January to the 18th of January I continued to have head problems and no stomach pains. I started doing some very strange things during that time period. I remember hoping into the car and decided to go to McDonalds drive through. As I went through the drive through, the staff member would ask what I would like, and I said to her ''I'm sorry I don't know what is on your menu, I have no idea '' and just drove straight through in a panic.What kind of 19 year old male boy doesn't know what is on a McDonalds menu? Seriously?
I started getting eye problems. I would wake up and it look like I was stoned. I would see stars and flashing lights when I ever needed to go to the restroom or when I was eating. The week that changed my life forever my body was starting to really get sick, and I was too embarrassed to tell people. My beautiful sister, brother in law and my partner Jessica treated my parents to a holiday away for Christmas and I decided to house sit for them while they were gone. I spent 3 days looking after the house and on the very last day before they were on their way home I went blind for 15 minutes. I got up from the couch and saw some stars and then went blind. I couldn't see anything. My eyes were wide open but just darkness. I have never been so scared and no one was home. Then I started vomiting the evil green color again while I was blind. It is an experience not like any other. I manage to return sight and it was not long untill my Mum and Dad were home. I told them about my situation and Dad had a good look at my eyes and said this is not migraine this is something far worse.
I went back to bed, as my wonderful mother made a few calls and woke me up immediately and rushed me straight to the Emergency Department Epworth Richmond Hospital (Victoria Australia) to get an MRI scan. I remember being in the car having a gut feeling that something is going to change my life and another feeling just hoping it just a simple problem that can be fixed with some pills. Managed to get a good run at 12pm towards the city and went straight into Emergency.
I will never forget the 18th January at 10:30pm at night. Receiving the news that will change my life forever.
