In September 2015 Rachel took ill. The illness has been a medical mystery to a half dozen doctors Fi ally receiving a diagnosis of a severe and rare illness called Hemiplegic Migraine. Not just a headache, this illness presents with symptoms similar to a stroke, migraine and chronic fatigue syndrome.  A former preschool teacher, she wants nothing more than to get well and get back to work. Please help Rachel get a chance to see a surgeon. Hemiplegic Migraine is very untreatable but a surgery could help get her back to teaching. There are surgeons in Texas and South Africa performing operations for the rare illness.
