Sitting in a doctor’s surgery with her eldest daughter Anna-Louise by her side, TV personality Jane Felstead struggled to take in what the neurologist before her was saying.
For more than 20 years, Jane, 65, believed she had fibromyalgia — a condition that causes aching joints and fatigue. But the doctor said there had been a mistake.
Jane had never had fibromyalgia at all. In fact, she has multiple sclerosis (MS) — a progressive disease of the brain and spinal cord. Without treatment, many people with MS end up in a wheelchair.
Even for someone like Jane, who is famous for her role as the no-nonsense matriarch in the TV reality show Made In Chelsea (in which she stars alongside her daughter Binky), the news was hard to take in.
