UNFATHOMABLE REAL LIFE
Danielle Sheehan, 33, from Norwich, couldn’t open her eyes, but the problem was staring her right in the face...
Staring at the results on my computer screen, I’d gone and done it.
I’d managed to win a £5,000 makeover after entering an online competition in 2010.
It was the perfect chance to up my boobs from acup size C to afavoured DD.
Interested in the adult industry and glamour side of modelling, big boobs were the ultimate look at the time and I knew exactly what Iwanted.
To use the money on silicone breast implants.
Even though Imay have been only 19 at the time, my mum Angie, now 59, supported me throughout everything.
So, going under the knife just months later, with my implants settling in successfully, my boobs were perfect.
Afabulous size, in proportion with the rest of my body, they looked great.
And it was then, with my DD cups, I could really thrive in the industry that Ihad wanted to be a part of.
Completing adance diploma, for the next 10 years, I’d gone on to perform around the world doing sexy fire dancing, angle grinding and podium dancing at various different clubs.
Not only that but I’d been a ring girl, parade girl, worked as apromotional model stripping down to my lingerie and even stared on arange of UK TV shows.
It looked like the skin on my face had been ripped open
That was all before going on to found my own business, Mae Cosmetics and Wellness Clinic based in Norwich.
And then, Iwent on to welcome my little boy Buster, now three, into the world, too.
However, over the years, while Iwas living life to the full, there were some moments where I’d noticed my health playing up.
Experiencing what Icould only assume were eczema flare ups, with rashes around my eyes and both shoulders, it was asymptom I hadn’t had since I was achild.
If Iwas under alot of stress, the rash would show more prominently –at times it looked like my skin had ripped.
Not only that, but when Iwanted to go swimming with Buster, the chlorine would irritate my skin so much that I wouldn’t be able to get in the pool.
However, with medics insisting that the stress of being anew mum was enough to trigger my eczema, it was a symptom I learnt to deal with. Trying avariety of steroid creams and medication, they helped for ashort time, before everything escalated.
With my hair thinning, my energy levels at an all-time low, rashes appearing all over my body, experiencing fatigue, brain fog, and what felt like full body inflammation, Ithought my body was shutting down.
The skin around my eyes was so sore, I couldn’t even put makeup on them.
‘I just feel for you,’ Mum would sob when she saw me.
It was as if everyt
