Debbie Deegan: I’d had a stroke and my voice was gone. I was lying there thinking, ‘If I’ve no voice, what am I?’

The morning of Debbie Deegan’s stroke in May of this year, she had tried lion’s mane mushrooms for the first time, for breakfast. “I’m in a WhatsApp food group, we’re called The Rabbits. I sent a photograph to everybody. And they were all asking, well, tell us what it’s like. So I ate it – big hairy thing. And the second I ate it, I felt wonky. I said to the food group, ‘I feel like I’m drunk.’”
