A man discovered he had been living with just half a brain after being hit by a common symptom that plagues millions.

The unnamed 44-year-old from the south of France started feeling a mild pain and weakness in his leg for around two weeks, which prompted him to visit his doctor.

More than a third of Americans suffer from some form of leg pain, which is usually down to muscle strain, arthritis or harder-to-identify causes, like vascular issues.

After doctors ruled out those common physical causes, they were concerned it could be due to a neurological condition that affects nerve endings.

I would think one of the first symptons have having half a brain would be people who watch the View? No?

The trick to having cognitive dissonance is having half a brain.

That’s yielding undeserved credit. /s

That was actually my first thought. There are many symptoms but that’s a biggie.

The funny part is that the article says he’s a civil servant. We’ve always suspected people in government jobs of having half a brain.

Even with half a brain he should have enough sense to avoid Leftism where rational thinking (especially any form of independent thought) is not tolerated.

They were further surprised to find that he was still able to function sufficiently with an IQ of 75

Looks like inadequate treatment of hydrocephalus was the culprit.

That’s why Rush said he tied half his brain behind his back, just to make it fair.

He’s a civil service worker.
