Adele Johnston was 33 when she developed painful symptoms such as heart palpitations and itchy skin.

When Adele Johnston was a bodybuilder she was on gruelling diets and fitness regimes that left her hungry and exhausted all the time.

On average, it starts when women are 46 years old. Adele, a mother-of-two from Fife, was in her early 30s.
