A West Lothian mum who was diagnosed with a chronic illness while on holiday in Morocco has shared her coping strategies for the extreme heat that triggers her illness.
Mother-of-two Linda Hoskins, 37, was on holiday in Morocco in 2012 when she struggled to keep up with conversations and found it hard to function. She dismissed it because of the 42C heat but became worried when she returned home and symptoms continued.
Weeks after returning to Scotland the mum-of-two lost her ability to walk and use her legs for weeks before doctors tests and scans revealed that she had Multiple sclerosis (MS).
