MAJOR fatigue, sure there were lots of other things before then, that came, went and I discounted, but I remember looking at a clock and seeing that it said 1.30 pm - when I knew it was only about 11.30 am. Then, when I moved my head, I could see the rest of the time display. I realised I had missing fields of vision.

Over the next few days, I had enormous blind spots, blurring, fog, loss of colour, I was stumbling around, tripping over everything, couldn't get to the bathroom in time, tingling all over and couldn't function mentally at all. I had trouble remembering simple things, following simple instructions, walking in a straight line (walking at all for that matter). Hands, feet and legs went numb, and got left-sided spasticity.
