A 25-year old woman suffers from a rare neurological disorder that paralyses her body every time she expresses a strong emotion, such as anger, surprise or love.

She added that she is taking new medication and hoped that it could improve her condition. “I’m trying some new medication at the moment and I’m waiting to see how that goes. With any luck it will help my condition and I might even be able to go to a comedy club someday”, she said.
