Harlequin's Disease

[foxyfox00]

After Being 'flamed' By A Member Of This Forum About Being Wrong About Something I Decided To Post What I Was Talking About.

This Year I Saw A Documentry That Broke My Heart It Was About To Sisters That Had Harlequin's Disease. A Condition Were Several Excess Layers Of Skin Are A Result Of A Bith Defect.

There Is A Link Below That Explains What I Am Talking About. I Doubt Anyone On This Forum Would Have It But Feel Free To Express Your Point Of View Positive Or Negative.

If you mean me, I didn't flame, I said "I think that's what he's on about ;)"... So I was wrong, ok then.

I have never heard of it, i will look at the link later if i can be bothered.
Plus your typing with a capital at every letter incase you didn't notice ;)

Yeah yeah... I watch Trisha.

You weren't flamed.

and psoriasis happens the same way so 2+2=?

[foxyfox00]

Firstly Ryan it wasnt directed at you, =) just to clear that up.

And secondally flamed was out in inverted commas to inforce how loosley it was used.

Anyways on topic: I thought I would attach an image for people to see they are also quite graphic just to warn you.
And heres a video link

I dont want to fight or upset or cause problems so, im just dropping the other issue to avoid arguments

If only those dungarees were red he'd look like Stewie from "The Super Griffin" episode...

[Lindzi]

Is that what the guy in "The Elephant man" had? (Sorry if that was off topic)

[Rizla]

The Elephant Man's mother was trampled by elephants while he was still in the womb... hence the name ;)

I didn't abuse the shift key. "The Elephant Man" is an un-official title ;)

[Jord]

Not you, you plank. [:

[Rizla]

Oh right, the thread creator :p

[foxyfox00]

I have a name. . . .
And my shift key loves its abuse thank you!

Yes the disease does look extreamly painful and it would be uncomfortable I guess. Its said harlequin babies skin is like armor.
