One evening in 2017, Heather Roberts, a 43-year-old mother of six and business owner, stepped out of her home office and headed to the kitchen to start dinner. The next thing she knew, her husband and oldest daughter were screaming her name. Heather had passed out.
A trip to the ER provided no answer about what had happened, and episodes like this continued for the next nine months. Heather also began experiencing excruciating pain on one side of her head. Doctors surmised the cause was due to a concussion she’d suffered years earlier, but 20 prescriptions later, the fainting episodes continued, the pain had not subsided and she still had no diagnosis.
Now going through a divorce, she found herself a single mother, unable to care for her children and their household.
