Lipoedema - Sgeulachd Lorna (Lorna's Story)
Lorna Taggart, from Isle of Skye, has battled the debilitating fat disorder lipoedema all her adult life. Broadcaster John McDiarmid is Lorna's brother and has been filming with her since early 2019, not long after she was diagnosed. The film charts Lorna's journey from her teens through to today as a full-time teacher and mother of three, still facing a future dictated by a condition that very few understand, and that medical practitioners often fail to identify
Lipoedema - Sgeulachd Lorna (Lorna's Story) airs on BBC Alba HD at 9:00 PM, Tuesday 12 August. (Subtitles, repeat.)
