      ‘I felt like I was dying’ – Top Scots football presenter provides major update on mystery illness that forced him off TV

      by

      DARRELL CURRIE has revealed he’s trying out natural medicines in his bid to get to the bottom of the mystery illness that’s forced him off TV.The popular presenter, 42, has opened up on why he’s decided to move away from the traditional western medical approaches.12.09.2017 Celtic v Paris Saint Germain, UEFA Champions League …………………… DARRELL CURRIE WITH HENRIK LARSSON AND CHRIS SUTTONCredit: Kenny Ramsay – The Sun GlasgowDarrell Currie presenting for BT SportCredit: AlamyCurrie is one of the most prominent hosts in Scottish football TV.He was a lead presenter for a host of top networks, including the ESPN and BT Sport.Currie anchored BT’s weekly Score programme and when the channel became TNT Sports, he was installed as one of the top presenters.But in September 2022, he began to feel immense pain while anchoring live coverage of Celtic’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid.He described it as feeling like “a bomb went off in my brain.”Just weeks later, the same issue arose while he was presenting Scotland’s match against the Republic of Ireland, where he revealed he was struggling to stand up.Currie was taken off-air by his concerned producer and he hasn’t presented a live football match since.In January 2023, Currie revealed he had been battling a chronic pain condition.Most read in FootballAmong his symptoms, he was in constant pain, feeling dizzy and struggling to walk.More than two years on, exactly what has been causing the illness remains a mystery with no conclusive diagnosis.STEPHEN DOBBIE EXCLUSIVE Life with Rodgers AND Ferguson and why I had to say no to CelticThat’s why Currie has decided to head down the route of alternative medicine.During his journey to get to the bottom of the situation, Currie feels like he’s been treated like a guinea pig.He also feels he’s been written off entirely by some medical professionals.Of a visit to a London-based clinic, Currie told The Sunday Times: “That doctor couldn’t work out what was wrong with me so effectively just said I wouldn’t get better.”I felt like he was giving up on me. Saying things like that is criminal. I was at my lowest, hearing that just kills your mentality.”It really affected my daughter too. The teachers at her school pulled me aside and said how worried she was.”He continued: “Sometimes I felt like a bit of a guinea pig.”They were just throwing things at me. Some would prescribe things without naming the meds, then you start reading about them and think, wait a minute, why am I taking this?”Currie thought he was getting somewhere last September when a bacteria connected to Lyme disease was found in his blood.He began a daily regime of three rounds of antibiotics.But instead of the recovery he desired, Currie found that his condition actually DETERIORATED.Ultimately, the amount of medicine he was taking left him feeling like he was dying.Currie continued: “I was getting crushing head pains again and terrible dizziness.”Just standing up was a struggle”By the new year, the small progress that I had made up to then vanished and every day felt like a marathon.”I Just felt that like this amount of drugs was going to kill me. I felt like I was dying, honestly.”Currie, who believes his condition is the effects of long Covid, possible vaccine side-effects and Lyme disease, has now decided to change tact in terms of the treatment he’s getting.He’s started a new diet and taking herbal medicines.Currie believes there’s hope with his new outlook.He continued: “My new approach is a healthy one: I don’t know if it’s going to have all the answers but it’s not going to hurt me.”On the whole I’m not much worse off than I was on the pain medication.”That’s pretty unbelievable given that most people with a chronic condition will draw on those meds for the rest of their life.”He added: “Conditions that can’t be cured today could be cured tomorrow, so you can’t give up. You have to keep on fighting in everything you do.”Currie is working as a consultant for TNT Sports while he also returned to broadcasting with Premier Sports.READ MORE SUN STORIESAlongside pundits Michael Stewart and Alan Hutton, Currie hosts the Scottish Football Social Club on YouTube every Monday night.Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page More

It was a horrible summer. “But this team will get in the play-offs, and I believe we will go up, but if we don’t win promotion I will walk away from the dugout, take a back seat as a part-owner and watch from afar. “There will be people who hope I fall flat on my face, but if that happens it won’t be for a lack of effort.”However, Macclesfield FC owner Robert Smethurst reckons Savage could end up being hired by a bigger side.He told the BBC: “How long he’ll stay here at Macclesfield, God only knows.READ MORE SUN STORIES”Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to keep him for another year. He’s already getting clubs coming for him now, higher up in the league.”It’ll only be a matter of time before he proves himself and will no longer be here at Macclesfield. I’m aware of that.” More

      ‘Sack the commentator’ – TNT Sports fans left cringeing at pundit’s Beto rhyme during Brentford vs Everton

      by
