A man has been left paralysed after he was rushed to hospital for what he thought was food poisoning.
Dad-of-four Asam Iqbal was diagnosed with a rare condition when he fell ill 11 months ago. His family thought he was recovering from food poisoning when he had a fever and was so weak he fell out of bed and couldn't get up.
However only when he went to the hospital was his family told he had Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a serious condition which affects the nerves and often starts with symptoms in people’s feet and hands.
