JUST months ago, multiple sclerosis sufferer Jacqueline Bambrick dared not go out without a walking stick for fear she would fall and hurt herself.
But within a few weeks of trying a unique new physiotherapy treatment she has all but thrown her stick away.
The 53-year-old foster carer from Kelso, who also has three grown-up children of her own, was diagnosed with the debilitating condition four years ago.
She said: “About 12 years ago I had a period of lost sensation and I went to the doctor and she sent me to a neurosurgeon.
“As there was only one episode at that time they didn’t take it any further. Then a few years ago I again had some loss of sensation in my leg and it was like a stroke when someone’s dragging their leg along as they walk.
“I was referred to a neurologist again. I went for tests and it was after that the consultant told me they thought it was MS.”
