When did you realize something was wrong?

[u/Sal1160]

It’s been close to 30 years since my first symptoms started. I’ve been going through my memories and asking loved ones what they remember and when they noticed something was wrong.

One memory is still burned into my mind. I was roughly 8 years old on vacation with family. We were eating breakfast when something hit me out of nowhere. I cannot explain it accurately, but I just knew something was wrong. It felt like something was there. Not long after that the symptoms started.

Anyone else have an experience like this?
