No one knows this, but six months ago, I had a stroke. 🧠
It was one of the most unexpected things that could have happened to me at the age of 31.
In early 2022, I began getting unexplainable migraines that just wouldn’t go away. They were triggered by my phone and brought this weird buzzing and tingling sensation in my head, along with brain fog that lasted for hours.
I went to every doctor you could imagine and had countless MRI scans, but nothing showed up. This went on for almost three years—until things suddenly got worse in late 2024.
It wasn’t just tingling and brain fog anymore. Now I had nausea, sharp head pain, and constant lightheadedness. I knew something was wrong.
When I went to my doctor asking for another MRI scan, they told me I didn’t need one. But I insisted—practically begging for a referral until they finally agreed. Even the radiologist told me I didn’t need it, but I refused to leave without the scan.
The next day, during a Zoom consult with my functional medicine doctor, I heard the words that stopped me cold:
“Jamie, you’ve just had a stroke.”
I couldn’t believe it. I was only 31. The doctors were baffled too. They said I had no typical stroke symptoms and suspected a heart arrhythmia as the cause.
I was rushed to the hospital, put on medication, and began visiting specialist after specialist—neurologists, cardiologists, ENT doctors. My health got worse. I moved back in with my mum, became bedridden for weeks, stopped working, stopped training, and felt my life spiral.
After months of just trying to survive, I slowly improved, but the headaches never left. I tried everything—supplements, vitamin drips, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, detox programs. Nothing worked.
Then one night at my weekly Bible study, after worship and fellowship, I asked three brothers to pray for me. Not for my health—just for some personal matters.
As they prayed, I felt fire rush through my body. I started twitching. I couldn’t explain it.
The next day, for the first time in years, I had no headache.
I thought it was a fluke—until days passed, then weeks, then months. I still haven’t had a headache since that night.
A follow-up MRI brought even more shocking news: the signs of my stroke had completely disappeared.
After almost four years of constant migraines, I was healed in an instant. I can’t explain it—only God knows how.
Through all this, I’ve learned that we will be tested in different seasons of life. But my peace came from trusting the Lord to bring me through the storm.
If you’re facing a health crisis, know this—what God did for me, He can do for you. ❤️
