The Fermanagh woman walking on stage after 20 years of illness

 

 

A debilitating illness left Fermanagh woman Shelley Cowan unable to walk for more than two decades.

 

Many players who come to เล่นสล็อต games come in for reasons that want to profit most of the time.
 

On Friday night she will step out into the spotlight as she stars in a musical at the Ardhowen Theatre in Enniskillen.
 

"I came home from school feeling it was like flu-like symptoms," Shelley told BBC News NI.
 

"I thought it was going to last 24 hours, but 24 years later and it's still here."
 

Shelley was 15 years old when she first felt unwell.
 

She had ME - chronic fatigue syndrome - and her condition rapidly got worse.
 

"My muscles just deteriorated more and more and within 18 months I was bed-bound and tube fed for the next 12 years."


Learning to walk again
She was cared for at home by her parents and over time her symptoms slowly improved.
 

"Gradually I just improved, bit by bit, and got able to be hoist-lifted and then I was wheelchair-bound for 10 years."
 

Even then she never expected to be able to walk again, until she visited the Buddy Bear independent school in Dungannon, which teaches children with cerebral palsy.
 

It is the only school in Northern Ireland to offer an approach called conductive education, which aims to teach children greater control over their movements.
 

The same techniques were used to help Shelley, retraining her brain to learn to walk again by finding new neurological pathways.
