Daisy Vass, 22, was at a friend's 21st birthday party on the night on Saturday, April 15 when she began to feel a tightness around her chest.
A young woman said she felt like she'd 'pulled a muscle in her shoulder' before suffering from a rare stroke.
Daisy said she thought she was having a heart attack and quickly phoned 111, who scheduled an appointment for her at the hospital that evening. With no history of anxiety though, Daisy said this was unlikely, and soon an ambulance took her to Hillingdon Hospital. "It took four of them to get me up, they’d never experienced anything like it before." Daisy said.
Referencing the chances of recovery, she said: "They’ve said the likelihood of a full recovery is very unlikely. But that could mean anything, it could mean just sensation, or never being able to walk again, or just not being able to use my left arm, so we just don’t know yet. "You worry what people will think if they see me in a wheelchair, are they going to laugh at me? Some days you just feel useless. But it’s getting a lot better, I can feed myself now with a strap we put on my hand, before that I just felt like such a burden.
"There might be some people out there going through the same thing thinking ‘oh my god what even is this?’ so it might be nice for them to know they aren't alone."
