A woman with a car -immune disease has revealed all the symptoms she missed in an attempt to warn others.

She said she had many symptoms that she thought they were normal, but was actually a result of her medical condition.

But she got a shock a few months ago when one day she couldn’t get out of bed and said that her life has changed. “

Nicky spoke about the first plate she ignored and said: ‘The last few years I would wake up with pain and my whole body would hurt, but it would only take 30 seconds, a maximum of per minute.

“And then you forget … I thought that was normal.”

The beautician also said that she felt very painful while she sat down after working for the day, but she just put this down on a busy job.

Nicky said that she was also unable to control her body heat, and added that she couldn’t sit in the sun for a long time.
