BABY MAY PARALYSE ME AND LEAVE ME IN LABOUR PAIN FOREVER
A young mum-to-be who was told she would never fall pregnant due to a rare condition has decided to keep her miracle baby even though his birth could leave her paralysed and in pain forever.Seven months pregnant Debbie Mills, 23, was diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in October 2009 and was told she would never be able to have children as a result of the rare illness. Formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy, CRPS is a chronic progressive disease of the autonomic nervous system which causes extreme pain and swelling and for which there is no cure. Debbie's condition began at the site of an old injury in her right foot, which suddenly became so swollen and painful doctors told her they may have to amputate it before eventually diagnosing her with CRPS. But Debbie is unfazed, saying her unborn child with partner Dan Hamlett, 23, is a miracle.
