Zoe has been diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder
A woman who woke up one day with a Welsh accent despite never having set foot in the country has told how she doesn't feel like she 'fits in any more'. Zoe Coles developed the new accent overnight in June 2023, but thought it would eventually wear off.
"I was a full-time working mum, I could get up and clean the house in two hours, have a shower, get ready, go shopping, go to work and come home. Now I have to be assisted in the shower in case my legs go on me, I can't do the house work in two hours it is more like two days. "I would love everything to go away and life to go back to normal," the 36-year-old said. "I would love my old accent back but there is a concern that my FND will get worse if it returns."
