A mum with a "torturous" incurable condition has shared footage of her collapsing outside her home to show the "agony" of an invisible illness.
Alex Akitici, 51, lived a “relatively normal” life until she collapsed ten years ago while trying to get to her bedroom.
Her husband, Attila, 43, rushed her to Luton & Dunstable University Hospital, Luton, where she was initially diagnosed with migraines.
But after 11 additional months of constant fainting, hitting a maximum of three a day, Alex decided to go to a private clinic for more examinations - where she was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) in December 2015.
Now, Alex wants people to “rethink their perceptions” of disabilities after seeing the footage of her collapsing.
