AN AMERICAN woman is convinced that a flu shot given to her has lead to a rare disorder which means she can only walk backwards.
Even more strangely, she has lost the ability to talk at all - unless she is running.
The woman, called Desree, took a flu jab but just ten days later, she started shaking and struggled to walk in a straight line.
She can't stay still without having a spasm, but incredibly when she either walks backwards or runs forwards, she is normal again.
In this video, the presenter runs alongside her and she can even speak properly - it's when she stops that the problem kicks in.
Just two years ago, she married her childhood sweetheart Brandon, and was training to become a cheerleader for the Washington Redskins.
Experts have diagnosed her rare condition as 'dystonia'.
But despite the huge setback in her life, she claims the only thing important to her is "love".
