My early symptoms were quite sudden.
I woke up one morning unable to talk properly or walk properly.
I woke up and was blind in one eye.
Nothing felt like it should. It just felt really strange.
I started tripping over things that weren't there.
I can still remember going to scratch my leg and I just, I couldn't feel anything.
My right leg felt as if it was wrapped in thick rubber.
You could stick a needle in me.
I had the skin of an elephant.
It was like an itch I couldn't scratch.
You try and ignore it...erm
and you can for about five minutes and then something else happens.
One minute I was fine
and then my hand would run out of battery?
Like super pins and needles as though
my whole body was fizzy lemonade and popping candy.
I didn't know what was happening
'Cause you don't know what it could be,
what it could lead to, if it could get worse.
My body had become my enemy.
