My Life: Welcome To Me
The First Change
"OW, my head!" I groaned, holding it after I'd gone down that water slide in Florida, Orlando. Why did it always hurt when I went down slides? It takes the fun out of everything! I was in Florida on Holiday. My Family were with me.
My Mother asked me worriedly "Are you alright Clare?"
I smiled, though it was forced "Yeah sure...I just think I need to see the doctor after I get home, my heads killing me"
She told me comfortingly "Its probably just a migraine, you're dad gets them all the time"
I agreed. I mean why wouldn't I? There was nothing to suggest otherwise. Though just to make sure for the Water Park, I missed out all the slides that day, instead bathing in the sun next to a swimming pool, wondering how it could be this hot for this many days or weeks even. I mean even the wind was warm, let me tell you that got a while getting used to.
I guess that was the first sigh something was wrong with me.
Though I didn't know it.
In fact when I was on my holiday I was 14 it took 2 years for me to go to the doctor's as everyone I met just said it was stress or migraines but by at least a year when I started to notice the pain more and more I knew...That wasn't the case.
And to tell you the truth I was scared shitless it could be something really, really bad, like a tumour or something like that.
At 16 my doctor finally suggested I take some tests. After he'd done a couple of tests on me. By then I was completely freaked out. My mind giving me all the worst situations and you know I don't tend to think very positively about my life.
I even looked up the symptoms for tumours in my head. And I'd been getting most of the symptoms. I was even more scared when I went to a different doctor that did a couple of more tests, this scared me even more because he was doing all the tests that someone would do while checking for a tumour. And yes I had looked that up to...
And what terrified me the most was when he told me he thought I needed a brain scan. An MIR Scan to be exact.
So after feeling nervous, heart in my stomach and all that shit I did the MIR Scan. And the Doctor told me he'd call back if they found anything....
And guess what?....He called back....

@iceskatez
Not all of you do though.... I've talked to a lot of americans on forums and when I said college every single one thought I meant University?
Its just a differ in language, I wasn't calling you stupid.
I've gotten comments like.
Oh you must of been really clever to get in that early.
I didn't realise you were that old?
Whats it like in University?
And I had to explain to them that the college I was talking about was not University. So I just assumed you called University Colleges sometimes, because so many people from America that I talked to seemed to think I meant University when I said college?
And again it wasn't meant to be calling you stupid, I'm sorry you took it that way. :(
