I'm not sure how close I was to dying or if it was really a possibility at all, but I suddenly had the worst headache of my entire. The worst pain I have ever felt. So agonizing. I already had bad experiences with doctors dismissing my concerns of feeling wrong but it was so immensely painful I went to the ER. Basically said nothing was imminently wrong and I just had a migraine.

So I just went home. It was so immensely painful. I was in tears every day. I begged my family members to kill me. And I could not sleep as well, because it was so painful, and I couldn't feel my face. No pain medication I could get my hands on would help. My vision would blur and I would see shining dots in my vision. Every night I would be up agonizing in pain, and only sleeping when my body was so tired that I would collapse for 2-4 hours, and the chronic sleep deprivation made me feel terrible, my body felt weak all over, I felt I would collapse at any moment. It was my own personal hell on earth.

Well, after about 2 months, it went away. In the following months I would sometimes feel it in my head again for a few days, but it went away shortly after. I lived in fear it would return and it would never go away.

Well, it took a few months and I finally after begging a few times at Dr appts for an MRI to see what was wrong, hoping somebody would take me seriously, I finally got one and when results came out I immediately got a referral to neurosurgery. I had a tumor, benign thankfully but the neurosurgeon told me it shows signs of hemorrhaging. I had a somewhat rare, sometimes life-threatening complication called pituitary apoplexy and I guess it's been bleeding for some time lol. So I got the tumor removed a few months ago but I guess I have to take some meds for the rest of my life.
