A mum who couldn't squeeze soap from a cloth while washing dishes was told she had 18 months to live after receiving a shock Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis.
Helen McMurray, from Cowdenbeath in Fife, first noticed she had 'trigger finger' in one hand and was struggling to grip onto things in November 2021. The 66-year-old was referred to a neurologist by her GP and after months of tests was diagnosed with the incurable condition on May 4, 2022.
In a further blow, doctors told Helen her life expectancy would be around 18 months.
