'I have brain aneurysms that could rupture at any time - I live in constant fear'
A woman says she lives in 'constant fear' she could die at any moment after aneurysms were found in her brain. Former customer service worker Amber Ford, 31, from Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, says she was a 'healthy, outgoing' person before she began feeling unwell in 2018. She was first diagnosed with mumps and Bell's palsy, a condition causing temporary weakness. 'My face was all twisted when I woke up one day,' she said. Her condition took a turn for the worse in 2020 when she began experiencing excruciating headaches, nausea, mood swings and fatigue which was so severe she was falling asleep at work. She was eventually forced to leave her job due to her condition. Amber said: 'I wasn't able to stay awake. My behavior changed massively. I was lashing out and getting angry for no reason – completely out of character. I knew there was something wrong. 'The headaches I was getting were so bad that I was physically sick.' Amber Ford Amber was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy in 2018 Despite visits to her GP and a hospital, Amber felt she was not being taken seriously. She was especially concerned about a lump in her throat which she believed to be cancer – but she said medics refused to refer her for further assessment. 'I kept being fobbed off. The doctors told me nothing was wrong, and they made me believe it was all in my head. 'One doctor even suggested psychiatric treatment because she said I was bringing the symptoms on myself, and medical opinions couldn't justify me getting a scan. 'That was the end for me. I realised I wasn't getting anywhere with the NHS, so I decided to go private.' Through her work's private healthcare, she was able to seek a CT scan on her neck in December 2023. But the scan instead revealed a shadow in her brain. She was referred for a further MRI scan with the NHS in April 2024 which confirmed there could be up to three aneurysms sitting along a duplicated artery – a rare anatomical variation where a segment of a brain artery divides into two separate channels, which then rejoin distally. 'I was in total shock. I was convinced it was everything else going on other than that. 'When someone tells you it's something with your brain, it straight away becomes terrifying. Your brain makes you who you are. 'It's a really scary situation.' Amber Ford Amber says she wants surgery so she can 'get her life back' A neurosurgeon suggested they could perform an angiogram to investigate further and surgery to cut off blood supply to the aneurysms; but these carry a high risk of complications due to her complex anatomy, which includes permanent disability or even death. Amber is hoping to be seen by a brain surgeon with expertise in operating on duplicated arteries in the US, who has agreed to look at her case. She is aiming to raise £35,000 on GoFundMe. 'I'm part of an aneurysm support group with over 40,000 members, and I've only come across two people who have a duplicated artery with an aneurysm,' she added. 'I don't want to go to the US for surgery, but I'm in a situation where I really want to fight for a better outcome for myself. If there's any surgery that minimises my chances of disability or dying, I want to choose that option rather than the one being offered here, where they've never done it before.' Amber says her aneurysms are growing 'significantly' and fears they could rupture at any time. Amber also said the condition also runs in her family; her grandmother, Isobel O'Neill, died of a brain aneurysm at 56. Amber Ford Amber says she spends her life 'in edge and in constant fear' 'My whole life has completely been changed and put on hold,' Amber said. 'I live on the edge and in constant fear. The minute I go out, my anxiety goes through the roof. I have pain in my head, sore ears, and think, 'is this it? Am I going to die?' There are times when I lie down and I think I won't wake up. 'It doesn't make it easy knowing if something in your brain pops, it's going to kill you. That's no way to live.' Amber said she is angry with doctors who dismissed her concerns and says her situation might have been different if she was listened to sooner. 'It's been a long process trying to find out what was wrong. I have been ignored for years and made to feel like a hypochondriac. 'If I had initially got that brain scan when I had Bell's palsy, we could have saved so much time and pain. 'I just want things to go back to normal. I want to go back to work, go out, and not worry that I'm going to die. 'I want a life. I want a family – so I need to get this surgery done.'

Lil Nas X sparks Bell's palsy concern after posting from hospital bed with facial paralysis
Lil Nas X took to social media after he apparently lost control of the right side of his face. The rapper posted a video from his hospital bed Monday evening which he captioned "Soooo lost control of the right side of my face." In his video, the rapper seemed to be in good spirits as he takes a lighthearted approach to not being able to move the right side of his face, saying, "This is me doing a full smile right now by the way," as he showed his smile and grabbed his jaw. "It's like what the f---. Bro, I can't even laugh right, bro. What the f---. Ah! Oh my God." Later, in a series of Instagram stories, he reassured his 10.4 million followers that it was not a big deal, and they shouldn't worry about him. The first story shows a text overlay saying "I'm so cooked" with a shot of the musician's face up close. In the clip he laughs as he says, "We normal over here. We get crazy over here." In another post, he wrote "Guys I am OK!! Stop being sad for me! Shake ur a-- for me instead!" He also shared a selfie from the hospital, adding, "Imma look funny for a lil but but that's it." The comments section was filled with concern and well-wishes from his celebrity friends. Many suggested that the rapper may be suffering from Bell's palsy. "Is it Bell's palsy? If so, that's not funny. I hope you get better soon," Holly Robinson Peete posted. Taraji P. Henson wrote, "Get well baby." On Wednesday morning, the "Old Town Road" artist shared an update, explaining that his situation had improved but still wasn't completely resolved. He said that he'd been chewing gum to strengthen some of the muscles in his face, explaining, "It's much better… my eye though still has to play catch-up, but like, I can give a genuine smile, so that's good." According to the Mayo Clinic, Bell's Palsy "is a condition that causes sudden weakness in the muscles on one side of the face. Often the weakness is short-term and improves over weeks. The weakness makes half of the face appear to droop. Smiles are one-sided, and the eye on the affected side is hard to close."
