A Scot who has been battling the symptoms of multiple sclerosis since childhood is celebrating the approval of a new cannabis drug to ease her pain.
Lillias Rapson, 38, from Thurso, Caithness, was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS 10 years ago after experiencing symptoms since she was 13.
She was prescribed Sativex in 2018 - the only drug in the UK with a licence to treat the muscle stiffness and spasms caused by MS.
