A model who was 'too ashamed' to tell people about her worrying symptoms was eventually diagnosed with a chronic illness.
Megan McNeil was only 17 when she started experiencing symptoms such as passing blood when she went to the toilet and suffering from diarrhoea, but was ultimately too self-conscious to inform her mum.
More severe complications proceeded and Megan started to experience severe fatigue and weight loss, which resulted in a trip to her GP, who sent her straight to A&E, as Belfast Live reports.
