Paisley woman in 'excruciating' pain waiting two-years for NHS appointment

A self-employed business woman who suffers from "excruciating" pain due to endometriosis has been told she must wait for up to two years to be seen by specialists at a Paisley hospital.

Alex Coward was diagnosed with the painful condition - where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes - back in 2021 and it has impacted her physically and mentally.

The 34-year-old, who lives in Paisley with her military husband Chris, also 34, has a maximum of just five days a month when she's not in debilitating pain.
