Ailsa

Ailsa has a symptomatic cavernoma in her right thalamus which bled in 2015. Due to the location of her cavernoma, it is currently considered 'inoperable'. Among other deficits, Ailsa struggles with extreme cognitive fatigue and processing issues, and with undiagnosed absence seizures.

Ailsa is the Digital Content Producer for Cavernoma Alliance UK.
