Michael Campbell, who co-wrote BBC Three's My Left Nut, speaks about having motor neurone disease at 32.
But it wasn't the shoes - it was his leg.The actor, also known as Michael Patrick, knew all about the disease - his father died from MND in 1998.BBC News NI's Evening Extra programme"I'm a firm believer that most people have a base level of happiness or contentment in their life and I think I'm very lucky that I'm a happy-go-lucky guy," he said.
MND is an uncommon condition that affects the brain and nerves. It causes weakness that gets worse over time and can significantly shorten life expectancy.Image source,"There was a dance segment and I noticed that my foot was dragging and I fell over once or twice during the dancing." Initially he put it down to the shoes being big and clumpy but afterwards he rested up and tried to go for a run."My GP was baffled by what was going on, an MRI came back clean - and then, with my family history, they did the nerve conduction test and that test had shown indications of MND.""It's a degenerative illness which is fatal at the end of the day. I suppose you have to get through it as best you can.
"My dad died when I was eight years old. There's a bit about it in the TV show My Left Nut, which I wrote. I'm one of four children and my mum raised us all. She's brilliant, she's raised £100,000 for a motor neurone disease charity."
