'I’m back out there on the dating scene - people can't believe what's happened'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A 34-year-old has shared her incredible recovery journey after suffering from a stroke when she was 33 years old. Melissa Clayton is now back at work and out dating again less than a year after the stroke.

It all started in January this year when Melissa returned home from her job as a PR account director in London and decided to go to bed early as she was feeling feverish and faint.

She suffered from a stroke in bed, which she would later learn had been caused by a clot in her lung which had travelled to her brain.

After her flatmate found her and called an ambulance, Melissa was rushed to the Royal London Hospital. There, she began experiencing hallucinations as well as being unable to swallow, speak, or move her right arm and leg.
