00:00I got up and went and dropped my eldest son off, pulled back up on the drive at about
00:06half seven in the morning, twenty past seven, went to get out of the car.
00:10And as I've gone to step out of the car, my left leg wasn't doing what my brain was telling
00:16it to do.
00:17And I just thought, oh, it's tensed up, it's my muscle, it's a cramp, it's going to come
00:23in.
00:25So I got through to the front door, sat down on the chair in the kitchen, tried to start
00:30massaging my leg, thinking that the cramp's going to come in, at which point my leg started
00:37flicking erratically backwards and forwards uncontrollably.
00:42I shouted for my partner at that point and asked him to come and help.
00:47Having a massive bump in the way doesn't make it easy to access the bottom of your legs.
00:53He came downstairs, was trying to hold my leg still, and within seconds I was in full
00:59seizure.
01:00My whole body went stiff.
01:04I felt like my whole body was vibrating through the chair.
01:09It felt like, it's really weird to describe, but I felt like the chair was vibrating through
01:17my body and I was phasing through the chair and I was going to end up on the floor.
01:24The pain was indescribable, I've never experienced pain like it.
01:28I couldn't move, I couldn't speak.
