A woman was left unable to walk and talk after "work stress" triggered a rare neurological condition which causes up to 25 seizures a day.

Emily Newman, 25, was in the "best shape" of her life before she suddenly had a seizure and was rushed to hospital.

She had lots of scans and tests but doctors couldn't confirm what was wrong.

After Emily experienced bouts of paralysis and couldn't move her legs for up to eight days at a time, she sought a private doctor for a diagnosis.

00:30Come tour my mobility aids with me.
00:59First up, I have my first Neowalk stick. This is in Jitterbug and it's got a T-handle and
01:05if you look closely you can kind of see the design where you can see all these black lines
01:09running through the clear column. I think it looks really cool.
01:14This is my second Neowalk in Bubblegum Blush with a question mark handle and a pink ferrule
01:20at the bottom. I love the bubble design that goes through the middle of this.
01:25Next I have my Rollator or Walker. I actually got given this by a family member so I have
01:31no idea where it's from but it's got a nice comfy seat for when I need to take breaks
01:35and I can fold it up and store it away nice and easily.
01:39Lastly my favourite, my wheelchair. This is a Rogue ALX and you can see on the back I've
01:44got the little anti-tip so I don't fall over. I love this chair so much, it's given me so
01:50much independence.
