For more than 50 years, Duangjay
Samaksamam, from Thailand, has
suffered from an extremely rare and
painful affliction that leaves her limbs
permanently swollen.( Check-Out the boy
with the biggest hands ever On Earth )
According to a new series,Body
Bizzare,Experts believe the 59-year-old
is the only person in the world to suffer
the rare condition macrodystrophia
lipomastosa from shoulder to fingers on
both arms.Embarrassed by her
condition throughout her childhood, she
spent the first 20 years of her life as a
recluse ashamed of the way she looked,
meaning she never went to school.
But she was forced to come out of
hiding at the age of 20 to earn a living
in order to care for her elderly parents,
and take over running the family
grocery shop.
My hands are so heavy I can barely
lift them to comb or shampoo my
hair, it's very difficult. Getting
dressed is also very difficult and
painful.
'Some doctors said the only solution
was to cut off my hands if I wished
to walk around freely. But I don't
want to do that.'They removed
about 700 grams of fat and blood
out of my hands but after a month it
just grew back"
Plastic surgeon Dr Eiju Uchinuma said:
'This case is very rare. Both her
arms are enlarged. Her arms and
hands are enormous so they swell
badly but it could be worse.My
diagnosis is that she is the first and
only person in the world who has
Macrodystrophia Lipomatosa from
shoulders to her fingers on both
arms.
'The cause of the disease is unknown
and is therefore incurable.'
