Durando said she became withdrawn, lethargic, and struggled to get out of bed. Once a self-described \u201cparty animal\u201d and Marvel fan, she lost interest in things that once brought her joy.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors initially dismissed her symptoms as stress-related or \u201cnormal for women,\u201d according to Durando. But in August 2024, she collapsed at work with intense ear pain, blurred vision, and dizziness. A CT scan revealed what was initially thought to be a tumour pressing on her left frontal lobe \u2014 the part of the brain linked to memory, emotion, and personality.<\/p>\n<p>Further tests in December revealed a cavernoma: a tangled mass of blood vessels that can cause bleeding, seizures, and stroke-like symptoms. Its location makes surgery too risky. She now lives with chronic migraines, balance issues, and memory challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the uncertainty, Durando hopes her story encourages others \u2014 especially young women \u2014 to push for answers. \u201cI just wish I had said something sooner and that I wasn\u2019t ignored,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Though she still struggles with memory, Durando hopes she\u2019ll one day be able to sing along to her favourite Taylor Swift songs again \u2014 without forgetting a word.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 24-year-old Taylor Swift fan from North Carolina discovered she had a serious brain condition after repeatedly forgetting the lyrics to her favourite songs \u2014 an early warning sign that something was deeply wrong.
