At the age of just 28 years old, Winifred Ling started to experience terrifying episodes of numbness, slurred speech, and minor bouts of stroke. As the symptoms progressed, she began to feel like a walking time-bomb, unsure of when the next attack would come, and would later be diagnosed with the rare cerebrovascular disorder known as Moyamoya disease. In this episode of the Screwed Up Moments Podcast, she shares the details of her experience, and the lasting impact that the diagnosis left on her.
