Woman 'hides from people' after gaining seven stone due to rare condition

A woman has admitted "hiding from people" in the street after gaining seven stone due to a rare condition.

Stacey Dickens said she only eats one meal due to the health condition which results in abnormal fat cells building up across her body and has been left in agonising pain. The 32-year-old, from Cheshire, suffers from Stage 3 lipoedema, reports CheshireLive.

Stacey said she "cannot live like this anymore" and said she will never get married or have children because of the painful condition. She also confessed to "hiding from people" in the street.
