Precious time starts slipping by. It can happen and it’s a real living nightmare. You are trapped inside your own body unable to help yourself. No one helps you. Maybe they think you are off, tired, having a bad day or acting strange. No one gets it that you are having a medical emergency!!! Every minute this goes by your brain is dying.
