Woman, 26, whose arms and legs have ballooned, due to a rare health condition, faces a race against time to fund £19,000 of liposuction before she gets too big for surgery

Danielle Brown, 26, from Nuneaton’s experience with lipoedema:

‘I was a healthy size 14 before any of this started but now I feel huge and have gone up five dress sizes.

‘No diets worked and despite going to the gym, my weight continued to increase. As months passed, I started to think I was destined to become obese.’
