Levina Reeves considers herself lucky to be alive. In 2019, the now 49-year-old from Roscommon was spending Christmas in England when she became ill.
It started with flu. “Then after a few days, it became more worrying,” she says. “I developed excruciating backpain and breathlessness and felt so bad that I made my way to A&E. But they told me to go home and rest.” Reeves decided to return to Ireland. “I went to my mother, who took one look at me and rang an ambulance,” she says.
