Elaine Morrissey is struggling to get treatment for a rare genetic disorder.
A friend of a Westmeath woman, who is slowly starving to death due to a rare genetic disorder, is begging the HSE for help.
Elaine Morrissey with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder causing her spinal instability and leaving her unable to eat.
Leanne Hill, who also suffers from the illness, says the Athlone mum requires a procedure allowing her to be fed intravenously.
However, she says the 37-year-old can't get the surgery through the health service and needs a referral from the HSE to get a private surgeon to do it:
