A woman claimed it took her 18 months to get diagnosed with an 'unseen' illness. Elle May-Rice says she was living in constant pain before she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
The Liverpool Echo reporter shared her experience on the painful journey to finally getting a diagnosis.
Elle says: "During lockdown in 2020, I developed Bell’s Palsy, an unexplained episode of facial muscle weakness or paralysis that can last around six months. It caused the left side of my face to droop, my sense of taste had almost completely disappeared, and I couldn’t close my left eye.
