Migraine

Migraine? It is a common attack since the '90s...

Interestingly, migraine not only cause severe headaches but also FAS or Foreign Accent Syndrome.

It was reported that a 35 year-old British woman, Sarah Colwill, suddenly started speaking with a Chinese accent instead of her normal distinctive West Country drawl. Let alone, she never been to China.

She is now undergoing a speech therapy following an acute form migraine last month which left her with a form of brain damage.

FAS has been documented around the world and is usually linked to stroke or traumatic brain damage.
