10 People with Unbelievable Medical Conditions


1) The Woman Who has 200 Orgasms every day:



UK's Sarah Carmen, 24, is a 200-a-day orgasm girl who gets good,
good, GOOD vibrations from almost anything. She suffers from Permanent
Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS), which increases blood flow to the sex organs.
"Sometimes I have so much sex to try to calm myself down I get bored of it.
And men I sleep with don't seem to make as much effort because 
I climax so easily." 

She believes her condition was brought on by the pills. "Within a few weeks 
I just began to get more and more aroused more and more of the time
and I just kept having endless orgasms. It started off in bed 
where sex sessions would last for hours and my boyfriend would be
stunned at how many times I would orgasm. Then it would happen after sex.
I'd be thinking about what we'd done in bed and I'd start feeling 
a bit flushed, then I'd become aroused andclimax. In six months 
I was having 150 orgasms a day and it has been as many as 200 

She and her boyfriend split and new partners struggle to keep up
with her sex demands. "Often, I'll want to wear myself out by having
as many orgasms as I can so they stop and I can get some peace,
" she said.

 2)  The Man Who Can't Get Fat: 


Mr.. Perry 59, can eat whatever he likes - including unlimited pies, burgers
and desserts - and never get fat. He cannot put on weight because of
a condition called lipodystrophy that makes his body rapidly burn fat. 

He used to be a chubby child, but at age 12 the fat dropped off "almost
over night". He initially tried to eat more to gain weight, but it had no effect.
Mr Perry, of Ilford in Essex, endured a decade of tests before the illness
was diagnosed. It finally emerged that his body produces six times
the normal level of insulin. Doctors have admitted that 
the condition would be a "slimmer's dream". 



  3)The Man Who Doesn't Feel Cold: 



Dutchman , Wim Hof also known as the Iceman, is the man that swam under ice,
and stood in bins filled with ice. He climbed the Mt. Blanc in shorts 
in the icy cold, harvested world records and always stands for 
new challenges. 

Scientists can't really explain it, but the 48-year-old Dutchman is able to
withstand, and even thrive, in temperatures that could be fatal to 
the average person. 

 4) The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep: stayed awake 24 hours
a day for years: 



Rhett Lamb is often cranky like any other 3-year-old toddler, but there's one 
thing that makes him completely different: he has a rare medical condition
in which he can't sleep a wink. 

Rhett is awake nearly 24 hours a day, and his condition has baffled his 
parents and doctors for years. They took clock shifts watching his every 
sleep-deprived mood to determine what ailed the young boy

After a number of conflicting opinions, Shannon and David Lamb finally learned
what was wrong with their child: Doctors diagnosed Rhett with an extremely
rare condition called chiari malformation. 

"The brain literally is squeezed into the spinal column. What happens is 
you get compression, squeezing, strangulating of the brain stem,
which has all the vital functions that control sleep, speech, our
cranial nerves, our circulatory system, even our breathing system," Savard said. 

 5) The Girl Who is Allergic to Water: 



Teenager Ashleigh Morris can't go swimming, soak in a hot bath or enjoy a shower
after a stressful day's work - she's allergic to water. Even sweating brings
the 19-year-old out in a painful rash. 

Ashleigh, from Melbourne, Australia, is allergic to water of any temperature,
a condition she's lived with since she was 14. She suffers from 
an extremely rare skin disorder called Aquagenic Urticaria - so unusual
that only a handful of cases are documented worldwide. 

  6)The Woman Who Can't Forget:


That's the Story of AJ, an extraordinary 40-year-old married woman 
who remembers everything. 

McGaugh and fellow UCI researchers Larry Cahill and Elizabeth Parker have
been studying the extraordinary case of a person who has "nonstop, 
uncontrollable and automatic" memory of her personal history and 
countless public events. If you randomly pick a date from the past 25 years and 
ask her about it, shell usually provide elaborate, verifiable details
about what happened to her that day and if there were any significant news events
on topics that interested her. She usually also recalls what day of the week
it was and what the weather was like. 

The 40-year-old woman, who was given the code name AJ to 
protect her privacy,is so unusual that UCI coined a name 
for her condition in a recent issue of 
the journal Neurocase: hyperthymestic syndrome. 

 7) The Girl Who Eats Only Tic Tacs: 




Meet Natalie Cooper, a 17-year-old teenager who has a mystery illness 
that makes her sick every time she eats anything. Well, 
almost anything. She can eat one thing that doesn't 
make her sick: Tic tac mint! 

For reasons that doctors are unable to explain, 
Tic tacs are the only thing she can stomach, meaning 
she has to get the rest of her sustenance from 
a specially formulated feed through a tube. 

8) The Musician Who Can't Stop Hiccupping: 


Chris Sands, 24, from Lincoln, hiccups as often as every two seconds - 
and sometimes even when he is asleep. He has tried a variety of cures, 
including hypnosis and yoga, but nothing has worked. Mr Sands thinks 
his problem stems from an acid reflux condition caused by a damaged valve
in his stomach. "If the acid levels are severe enough they are going to
do keyhole surgery and grab part of my stomach and wrap it around the
valve to tighten it," he said. 

Mr Sands, who is a backing singer in the group Ebullient, said the condition
has hampered his career as he has only been able to perform four times.
In the Next couple of Weeks --as of the day of the report--, doctors at 
Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre will put a tube into his stomach to
monitor acid levels and decide if keyhole surgery is possible. 

 9)The Girl That Collapses Every Time She Laughs:

Kay Underwood,  20, has cataplexy, which means that almost any sort of
strong emotion triggers a dramatic weakening of her muscles. Exhilaration,
anger, fear, surprise, awe and even embarrassment can also cause sufferers 
to suddenly collapse on the spot. 

Kay, of Barrow-upon-Soar, Leicestershire (UK), who was diagnosed 
with the condition five years ago, once collapsed more than 40 times in a 
single day. She said: "People find it very odd when it happens, and it isn't
always easy to cope with strangers' reactions. " 

Like most cataplexy sufferers, Ms Underwood is also battling narcolepsy - 
a condition that makes her drop off to sleep without warning.
Narcolepsy affects around 30,000 people in the UK and about 70 per cent of 
them also have cataplexy. 

 10) The Woman Who is Allergic to Modern Technology: 



For most people talking on a mobile phone, cooking dinner in the microwave
or driving in a car is simply part of modern living in 21st century 
Britain. But completing any such tasks is impossible for Debbie Bird - 
because she is allergic to Cell Phones and Microwaves. 

The 39-year-old is so sensitive to the electromagnetic field (emf) or 'smog' 
created by computers, mobile phones, microwave ovens and even some cars,
that she develops a painful skin rash and her eyelids swell to three times
their size if she goes near them. As a consequence, Mrs Bird, a
health spa manager, has transformed her home into an EMF-free zone to 
try and stay healthy. 'I can no longer do things that I used to take for
granted,' Mrs Bird said. "My day-to-day life has been seriously affected by EMF".
