Jessica Ennis, 30, said she experienced aches across her whole body before she became paralysed from the waist down on June 21.
Jessica Ennis, 30, said she felt "completely helpless" on June 21 after she became unable to move her legs before she was due to take her children to nursery. The mum-of-two was pulled out of the bath by her mum and taken to hospital.
Prior to her diagnosis, she said she lived an active lifestyle and had recently married her partner. Between them, they had her step son, Caylan, 11, and their two daughters, Cassidy, three and Savannah, two. "I began to have splitting migraines, my limbs began to feel very heavy – almost too heavy to move – and most days I could barely stay awake. I had various tests but nothing showed up. I was then told I had fibromyalgia and life continued like this for another six months."
"I was up all night and in the morning I told the girls I was going in the bath for 10 minutes. At 10 past seven I got in the bath and by 20 past I was paralysed from the waist down. I couldn’t move my legs at all. It was terrifying. I called my mum who came around and dragged me out the bath before an ambulance got to us. That was the last time I saw my own home."She continued: “Despite my diagnosis the symptoms have worsened.
