September 2010 I had just lost my job. I was pushed to take redundancy, which I did, as I felt very tired — not knowing that I was seriously ill. I left the firm in tears after more than seven years working there. At the time, I didn’t understand why I could no longer perform. I was constantly unwell — picking up a new infection almost every day. My temperature eventually reached 40°C. I was always sick, with a sore throat, a water infection, a terrible rash all over my body.
