How do you take control when suffering a debilitating illness? With Justine Shuttleworth.

How do you take control when affected by a debilitating illness? Paralympic athlete Karen Darke talks to Justine Shuttleworth about her battle with an undiagnosed condition.

How do you take control of your life when you find yourself facing a crisis or unexpected events turn everything that is familiar and certain upside-down? In the second of three conversations about taking control of your life, Paralympic athlete and adventurer Karen Darke talks to single mother and property developer Justine Shuttleworth. Six years ago Justine became very ill. She sought medical advice but her condition didn't improve. She felt isolated and fearful as the physical and mental effects got worse. Over the course of 18 months she saw 14 doctors, nine psychiatrists and a hormone specialist. Eventually she was diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease. Here, she shares her experiences and describes how she regained control of her life.   Producer Sarah Blunt
