Summary

From mid-2025 the user had intermittent episodes of a one-sided rush-like head sensation, numb limbs and difficulty thinking or speaking, which briefly resolved then returned worse by September 2025. They later tried a 'Bbq roll' maneuver and stopped vigorous VR games, and reported no symptoms for about half a year by August 2026. They were unsure what caused or resolved it and never saw a doctor, and had no insurance when symptoms began.
