== Illness == In an interview with [[Gary Burgess]], Nina Muirhead described experiencing a number of different illnesses in a short space of time, and trying to continue her busy life including carrying out surgery, looking after her two young children, continuing to [[exercise]] and socialize. After attempting to push through despite symptoms, she eventually deteriorated to the point where she struggled to walk and felt no longer safe to operate, and took time off work.<ref name=":2" /> After her ME became severe, Dr Muirhead spent several months being nursed by her parents, with neurological, sensory and cognitive symptoms that she thought might indicate some kind of [[brain tumor]] or [[Multiple sclerosis|Multiple Sclerosis]].<ref name=":2" /> She was initially diagnosed with [[Mononucleosis|glandular fever]], then ME. Although her health has improved significantly, Dr Muirhead still has ME, and has is forced to severely limit her working hours, and has experienced several failed returns to work.<ref name=":2" /> Dr Muirhead found that [[pacing]] did help her, especially doing tasks on different days and not working consecutive days, as well as anti-viral treatment, and vitamin B12 injections.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2" />
