not a walk in wonderland


The downside to this is migraines. I get migraines every week or so. The way I tell it is coming on is minor visual effects. Like something disappeared or something starts moving. At that point, I take a pain relief pill.

Then the way I know that I am about to have migraines is a major visual effect, like seeing an earthquake or everything was sinking. Last migraine I had my dad found me curled in a ball on my bedroom floor. I was seeing everything closing in on me. Then my mom looked like giant. It would all be cool if I was not in pain.

my life in wonderland

Hi my name is Alice and I am the typical teen. I have pink hair and like pop music and every one knows it is hard growing up especially when you have a freaky brain problem. I suffer from a rare brain disorder called Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. I know that it sounds crazy but is true. It means that I see lots of weird things. I get a lot of hallucinations. It also gives me migraines. Sometimes it is hard because a visual effect can happen at any minute. When I am in school, it just happens. Like in gym once, we were playing dodge ball. Then everything started to sink into the floor. Sometimes they are so scary I think they are real, once I thought that there was an earthquake. Also, it can effect all your senses. It mostly messes with my balance. Some of the effects are cool, like sometimes I see in 3D, others are scary like my dad's body disappeared but his clothes were still there. This is my reality.
