27-year-old Emma Bowditch is today's guest. Emma suffered an episode of hypoglycaemic hemiparesis in her early 20s, during which half the body is paralysed as an additional symptom of a low blood sugar. Emma didn't have a label for what happened to her for years after, and reached out to me in a bid to raise awareness of this relatively undocumented experience.
