'I still suffer from seizures weekly' - Woman reveals her painful battle with ME
"I need help doing simple things like using a kettle and having a bath"
A woman from Gainsborough has revealed how she learnt how to stand and walk again following a decade long battle with a neurological disorder.
Jess Standley was just 17 when she began experiencing symptoms of ill health, including exhaustion, feeling run down and a cough that refused to go away.
The 27-year-old was eventually diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, otherwise known as ME, in 2010 while she was completing her A-levels.
"My symptoms were fairly severe but I was still able to complete my A-levels and secured a place at Newcastle to study dentistry, said Jess.
"Living with ME means that the symptoms can be quite varied in intensity and there was a period in 2013 when I had to take six months out of university because my symptoms became quite intense."
