On his childhood nightmares and the diagnosis that explained them.
On his childhood nightmares and the diagnosis that explained them.
Tre鈥檚 lying in bed. He鈥檚 10 years old and his heart鈥檚 racing. He鈥檚 just seen a strange figure in the corner of his bedroom, and it鈥檚 moving towards him. Tre has experiences like this all through his childhood. Nightmares. Hallucinations. Sleep paralysis. One afternoon, at school, his teacher pulls him aside. She鈥檚 spotted something in him that she recognises. And so it begins - tests, scans, until the clues come together and reveal a diagnosis that explains everything.
In Room 5, Helena Merriman shares stories of real-life medical mysteries, interviewing people who - like her - were changed by a diagnosis.
