Rare disease makes girl unable to feel pain
I wasn't sure wether to put it here or in the General Forum, but I figured this leans to the Science-way...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6379795/ I picked some of the (in my opinion) most interesting bits, since the article is very long. Quote:
I mean, it does sound like something cool, when you first think about it. I know I would be the worst troublemaker at school. People could try to hurt me but.. MUAHAHA! .... People who have the disease probably learn what's harmful and what isn't, but just imagine that you could be hurting yourself at any minute without noticing! For example, let's say someone just boiled soup on the stove and you are standing with your back against the hot plate, and you accidently put your hand on it without even noticing! You could get serious burns without having a clue! And you would have to constantly be checking your body and what's going on around you, to be sure something bad isn't happening to you. Awful. |

yeah it must be awful but then again.. as time will pass by people can learn what to avoid. Just the same way kids learn to stay away from fire by burning their finger or similar. They only inflict the same damage a few times to know it shouldn't be done.
So I guess that people with such a disease would be able to learn what not to do aswell. But only after people either tell them or they see the end result presented to them. |

I saw a person who was unable to feel the temperature of the environment. So the guy learned to check the thermometer before going outside and dress accordingly. He was living a pretty normal life.
Thanks for the article, QueenBee, it's interesting. |

This is odd. Pain is nothing but a normal sensation pushed to it's limits, up to the point where it becomes unbarable, right? So a person with such a disease couldn't even feel ANYTHING, not even a touch of the hand, so that person would have to be completely senseless, since pain is nothing more then a sense.
Let me draw an analogy here: it's the same as saying that somebody doesn't hear strickly the sounds that become painfully loud, while they can hear perfectly well at normal decibel levels. That doesn't make much sense does it? If you hear the quiet sounds then you SHOULD hear painfuly loud ones as well. Even more so. Much more intensely. Same with senses: if you can sense normal things, then you should be sensing pain, (which is just one of the senses at it's most intense), that much more. |

freddie, I thought so too. The documentary that was shown here a long time ago portrayed a girl as unable to feel anything. She could only feel things very "numb", like when her mother hugged her. But the article says:

People with this desease have the sense of touch, if they hold an object, they can sense that object, but if that object is harming them, they don't feel any pain. So if they put their hand on a hot plate, they sense the plate, but they don't feel the heat, and they don't feel that it's buring them. I remember seeing a documentary on that desease, and people who suffer from it have to be extremely careful about everything, even to simply put their clothes on. When you have a piece of clothing which is not well positioned and rub your skin in a wrong way, you feel it and correct it, those people don't. I remember that woman explaining that she had to be very careful when she put her clothes on, especially her underwear, that everything was perfectly set because she could end up with a bad cut from a piece of clothing rubbing her skin all day long without her noticing it until she saw blood. |

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, I hear you loud and clear ... You're talking about sex right? Hmmm, but when you think about it you cannot miss what you do not know. And on a brighter note, if she ever chooses to have children, she can deliver while reading a book or something. |
