Mrs Wood has a history of high blood pressure, chronic eczema and persistent back pain resulting from a car accident 15 years ago. She has had multiple operations, including a hysterectomy at age 57, right shoulder and knee re-constructions and removal of a benign breast lump.
It is also noted that Mrs Wood experienced post-natal depression after the birth of her second daughter, Judith. This was effectively treated with tricyclic anti-depressants.
