A single mum who desperately needs medical help to deal with her daily excruciating pain is being forced to wait 14 months for an NHS appointment with a specialist doctor.

The long-term condition causes the 33-year-old's veins to become congested and forces her blood to sometimes flow backwards, leaving her dizzy and faint.
