A woman who was in suffering from a devastating disease which "attacked her from the inside out" was mistakenly diagnosed with Covid-19 twice.
Amy Murphy of Huyton, Liverpool, noticed symptoms in April 2019 but because they came and went she decided not "to bother doctors".
But by the time she was admitted to hospital she was suffering from stomach pains, had blood in her urine, bruises on her face and lost clumps of hair.
Amy, 34, told the Liverpool Echo : "In Easter time, 2019, I had terrible cramps and I was going to the toilet and I noticed blood, but I didn't go to the doctors. "It must have been a flare up because after a few days it stopped happening.
