A woman in the UK was left paralysed for life after a powerful orgasm led to her suffering a stroke.
Lucinda Allen, 38, suffered terrible headaches everytime she climaxed after s*x with her husband, but on one fateful day, the headache led to something far worse.
Allen, who was six months pregnant at the time, was wracked with excruciating pain after she climaxed. She was later rushed to hospital, where she suffered a series of strokes; four to be exact.
“I was writhing on the bed in agony and crying when Tony phoned my mom.” she said, recounting the moment her orgasmic induced headache became far painful than she was accustomed to.” she said.
“I’ve experienced what’s known as post-orgasm ‘thunderclap head-pain’ all through my adult life. The pain I usually have after orgasm is a bit like brain-freeze — quite painful but never lasts long.”
“But after a while, I realized it just wasn’t going away.”
She was placed in a medically induced coma to stop the damage, the New York Post reports.
 
Allen woke up from her coma six days later, during which time doctors performed brain surgery on her. She spent three more months in the hospital, later delivering a healthy baby despite her trials.
“I am totally paralyzed down my left side. I’m a full-time wheelchair-user.” she revealed of her condition now.
“Nobody talks about post-orgasm head pain and that’s understandable. But, because of what’s happened to me, I am now on a mission to raise awareness of how this pain can be a warning sign of impending brain hemorrhage.”
She added: “Because of it, I have lost a huge part of ‘me’ — my career, any siblings my daughter may have had, my plans for the future.”
