I had a thunderclap headache and 111 north east told me to just take paracetamol. 2 days later I had a stroke. Ambulance service turned up whilst I was having a full body tremor in front of them with another sudden severe headache. They said it was just anxiety and left. Now I am left with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. I went to A&E and was offered naproxen for migraine (this was no migraine). They missed my stroke now I suffer more.
