I Found Out I Had a Brain Tumor | @LetsPlayAGamepodcast

HostDoes people know that you have a tumor in your brain?

Mohammed HijabI don't know.

HostOkay. So, this we can cut out.

Mohammed HijabYou can keep it in as well.

HostOkay. Okay, good. So, can we just explain that because not many people know that. Can you tell us about when did you have this tumor in your brain? What kind of impact does it have? Um, because you do, I need to take specific medication if I'm not mistaken.

Mohammed HijabI used to take Amatriptyline. Okay. Now I don't take anything for it. I don't know if it's, it's not not growing like they've looked at um, at it and stuff. It's not really, but some doctors have said this is the cause of some severe migraines that I get.

HostOkay.

Mohammed HijabThe migraines that I get are really, really bad. Um, they're kind of like debilitating.

HostYeah.

Mohammed HijabTo the point where I've had to go to the hospital so many times like which you've seen. Then I think I always called them to give me the morphine as soon as possible.

HostGive me the morphine. Like I, well, one time it was Ramadan because what triggers it a lot is um, I have a dehydration.

Mohammed HijabYes. So Ramadan is so hard for me because I get like some, I would say that even though I've had pulmonary embolism, I've had multiple breaks in my body.

HostUh, I've broken my jaw.

Mohammed HijabYeah.

HostI've broken my jaw in three places. I've got two titanium plates in my jaw.

Mohammed HijabI've, I've broken my...

HostSo you don't have a glass? No, you don't have a glass jaw.

Mohammed HijabI've broken my hand multiple times. I've broken my knees multiple times. Um, both, both of them actually.

HostI've torn them all. This and I've had the pulmonary embolism which is like...

Mohammed HijabLife or death.

HostBut the, the pain of the head.

Mohammed HijabYeah.

HostThat, that one was the worst.

Mohammed HijabThat is the worst. If, if I get hit with that headache, it's so bad. The last time it happened, I think it was a year ago. I was in the hospital and I just couldn't handle it. They gave me uh, morphine in the hospital. I took morphine and I took another opioid. I can't remember what they gave me and it wasn't working.

HostNo way.

Mohammed HijabNothing was working on this thing.

HostOh no. That's crazy.

Mohammed HijabIt's like, you know, morphine is a strong drug. They gave me morphine. They gave me opioid. Gave me this and that. It just wasn't working. But...

HostThat kind of pain is uh, is I think in a way it's good because it's pain tolerance and like it helps you get...

Mohammed HijabYeah. Yeah. You know.

HostIt does.
