Teenager 'feels like walking death sentence' after terrifying headache diagnosis

An aspiring law student says she feels 'like a walking death sentence' after doctors diagnosed her with a terrifying brain condition.

Allesha Barnfield first realised something was wrong when her daily headaches became so crippling that she became bed bound and could not bear noise or light.

The 17-year-old, from Highfields, South Yorkshire, had been studying law but had to drop out of college when her condition became debilitating, the Mirror reports.

In September 2020, her dreams of going to university and pursuing her career were crushed when NHS doctors diagnosed her with Chiari Malformation.
