A Scots nurse has been left unable to walk more than 10 steps without a zimmer frame after being diagnosed with three rare diseases within three months.
Katie Ash-Wilson, of Kilmarnock, had been working as a staff nurse at Ayr Hospital during the height of the covid pandemic when she felt a shooting pain like 'lightning' up the back of her legs on a night shift in November 2020.
Then aged 24, she put the pain down to being on her feet all the time.
