Hard as it is to fathom Gabby Gingras feels no pain. There is no cure, nor will she outgrow it. ... Gabby was born with a genetic defect called " Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy Type-5. It is so rare her doctors don't know of another person with it in this country. ... http://www.kare11.com/news/news-article.asp?NEWS_ID=60120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Sunflower How strange- I just heard Harvey tell about this young lady on the radio. His analogy was- For those of us who would like to feel no pain- it isn't necesarily a good thing for our pain tells us when to stop. Apparently she would gouge at her eyes and pick at her skin till it bled and not feel a thing. I guess there's always another side. vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
