Sounds Like A Migraine, But We'd Best Have An MRI

A numbness started in my fingertips and spread into my hand. Soon the right half of my lips had the same sensation, and I could feel it move slowly back into my gums and then around onto my tongue.

Later, at dinner, my eyebrows started hurting and when I tried to tell a story, I couldn’t remember what the right words were. I said “shark” instead of “water” and “boat” instead of “squid”.

A line of bright crosshatch later appeared in my right eye. My mind functioned, and I found it absurd and fearful that I should remain observant throughout.
