Overview
- Speaking on ITV's This Morning, the 64-year-old broadcaster described developing severe rheumatoid-arthritis symptoms within two days after what she referred to as 'some jabs,' a temporal link she recounted herself.
- She said blood tests in December showed a CRP inflammatory marker of nine, above a typical threshold of five, following a rotator-cuff problem.
- Vorderman recounted months of intense pain and swelling, saying her hands were 'twice the size' and that she 'couldn't move without crying in pain' while doctors adjusted treatment.
- She said she is now on the 'right drugs,' is off steroids, and credited the NHS as 'superb' as her energy and confidence returned.
- Her update follows an overnight hospital admission for burnout last year, after which she cut back work and left her Sunday LBC radio show.
