The next day, there would be blood on her pillow. Sometimes she鈥檇 have up to 50 of these attacks a night. It left her terrified and exhausted. For years, doctors put it down to psychological problems due to a trauma in her past. Then she met a doctor who found the astonishing, true cause. In 鈥淭he Diagnosis鈥�, Janice and the doctor who diagnosed her come together in a studio, to tell this remarkable story.

The programme is presented and produced by Helena Merriman, who was inspired to tell other people鈥檚 stories of diagnosis after receiving her own surprise diagnosis a few years ago.
