A MAN is learning to walk again nearly six months after first being struck down by a rare syndrome.
Derek Jackson says he has been left devastated and his life completely transformed since his diagnosis, and wants to warn others of the symptoms.
The 64-year-old said his nightmare began after collapsing last August.
“It was the last day of the Eat out to Help out and I decided to go out and have a drink, and a meal with friends," he said.
“We were on the way to the Eagle Vaults, my legs just gave way from under me. There had been no warning. I haven’t walked since.”
