A young woman diagnosed with a chronic illness has spoken out about her journey after being reluctant for years to share her health battles with others.
Megan McNeil, a 21-year-old Co Antrim woman, was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis after she experienced symptoms such as passing blood when going to the bathroom.
The 21-year-old from Lisburn said she was also having spells of diarrhoea but was too embarrassed to tell her mum, given the nature of the symptoms.
