Two years ago Liz Sneddon would cycle 50 miles a day, now she struggles to walk around a supermarket after being struck down with “ugly disease”.
She has Cushing’s syndrome, which has another, equally cruel, nickname – Moon Face.
In September 2015, Liz was caring for her dying mother Mary when she started to feel poorly herself.
