“I'm lying there thinking, ‘I can't die like this.’” ESPN host Victoria Allen opens up about her terrifying relapse with a rare neurological disease.
When Victoria Allen was 11, she fell ill with two incredibly rare and dangerous neurological diseases that left her unable to move or speak for four years—until she made a miracle recovery. Relapsing has always been her worst fear—a fear that nearly became a reality last year, the ESPN host said in a new interview. Last March, she was driving home when her face started to droop. “All my internal alarms were going off. I knew something was seriously wrong.
“I'm lying there thinking, ‘I can't die like this.’” Allen made one miracle recovery before. “I feared I wouldn’t be so lucky the second time around.” As the fear of being trapped in her own body set in once again, doctors worked to rapidly treat her. They successfully prevented lasting paralysis, but Allen was in for another grueling recovery process. “Sitting up was a process again. Just being able to take steps and stand was a process again,” she said.
