'I was working as cabin crew and as a model. A violent ex changed everything'
19.09.2022 - 09:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
An air hostess with a modelling career and a beautiful baby girl, those around Diana Olijar thought she had the perfect life.
But injuries sustained during a horrific attack by a former partner changed all of that forever – leaving her bedbound with a condition so severe it could have caused an internal decapitation.
The 34-year-old, from Fallowfield, now spends much of her time lying in a dark room due to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), an illness which affects her skin, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, internal organs and bones. The pain is so debilitating, even small tasks like making a cup of tea feels impossible.

Diana told the Manchester Evening News she had been working as a member of cabin crew for Thomas Cook Airlines when she suffered a spinal injury in an attack in 2012.
At first her symptoms were more subtle, namely dizziness, migraines and neck pain. For years she was told by doctors that the mostly likely cause was fatigue and that she probably needed a 'good night's sleep'.
Yet her symptoms became more numerous and severe. Her vision and hearing began to deteriorate and her joints would dislocate at random.
In 2018, Diana finally received a diagnosis of EDS and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a type of dysfunction of the nervous system. She believes the late diagnosis came down to a lack of understanding about the condition.
“All I heard from medical professionals was that it was just a trauma reaction and that I needed rest and sleep,” she told the Manchester Evening News . “They said it would get better with time, but it was getting progressively worse until I got diagnosed.
