Content developed independently by our editors and supported by our partners. About five years ago, Bren Cox, 57, knew something strange was going on with her health. Her doctors repeatedly told her that her symptoms, like headaches and fatigue, were just a normal part of aging, and that she was making a big deal out of nothing. But when Cox woke up in the middle of the night, and her head hurt so badly that she couldn’t even see, she had her husband take her to the ER.
