A woman cried to her mum her "brain was on fire", before being rushed to hospital.
After being born prematurely, Samantha Thompson-Morris has been in and out of hospital for her 23-years of life. Just last year, she underwent 13 brain operations in eight months after she was found to have cysts and fluid on her brain.
Earlier this year, Samantha took ill with "terrible pains" which were that bad she asked her mum "am I going to die?". But in September, Samantha took a turn for the worst after complaining of head pain.

On October 1 she was rushed to the Royal Hospital after telling her mum her "brain was on fire". Mum Lisa, from Garston, said: "She was saying there was a pressure and she was in pain for about three days.
"Then the start of the month she was rushed to hospital by ambulance in resus having massive seizures, it was terrifying. She had 12 in two days and ended up on HDU and critical care. She deteriorated terribly."
Lisa said her daughter needs the pressure in her brain checking, which can only be carried out using specialist equipment at the Walton Centre, but her daughter is yet to be transferred over. As a result, she claims Walton staff are leaving her daughter to "deteriorate" in the Royal where she is "being left to rot".
She added: "The doctors at the Royal have been amazing but they can't look after her, they haven't got the resources, they can only offer pain relief but we can't get her over to the Walton."
Samantha, who has a programmable shunt in her head, remains in hospital with a drip in her stomach as she is losing weight. Unable to stand or walk alone, Lisa said it was heartbreaking to see her daughter this way as she pleads with Walton to see her daughter.
She said: "On October 1 she came down and said her brain was on fire and then suddenly started vomiting. Something isn't right.
"I'm absolutely traumatised, I've had no sleep, I can't eat. I can't believe she's being treated like this and not for the first time. She's being left to rot in a hospital bed and it's heartbreaking. She can't even go to the toilet alone.
"She's confused because she's so poorly but it's disgusting. She's had 11 bags of fluid but it's not doing the job, she needs the machine on her head to see what is going on."
A spokesperson from The Walton Centre said: "The Walton Centre is continuing to work with Liverpool University Hospitals (LUHFT) to ensure safe, effective treatment. Our clinical teams are in liaison with the teams at LUHFT on future treatment required while at the Royal."
The Royal was contacted for comment.
