An induced coma, a psychiatric ward and three months with no memory are just some of the challenges Abi Burton had to overcome in the autumn of 2022. The Trailfinders Women back row reveals about her misdiagnosis with depression and stress, the aggression she showed towards her family and her eventual diagnoses of autoimmune encephalitis. The Great Britain 7s player also discusses her road back to rugby, realising a dream of going to the Olympics and her ‘rocky’ relationship with her image and body dysmorphia.
In this podcast you will also hear from her mum Sarah, research Mark Harper who identified her encephalitis as well as team mates Mackenzie Carson and Morwenna Talling.
