Duangjay Samaksamam, 50, lives in Thailand, who suffers from a terrible disease and refuses to undergo an operation that can solve her problem.
Doctors were able to diagnose her. The woman suffers from localized gigantism of the fingers. Each of her arms weighs more than 10 kg, and in diameter reaches the size of a water pipe. Because of her illness, she was constantly embarrassed to leave the house. But her relatives persuaded her to start working in the family store. She works in it to this day. But any action that needs to be done with her hands is very difficult for her.
Once upon a time, doctors already tried to help a woman. At the age of 25, she underwent surgery to pump out fat from her limbs. But it did not bring any result. On the contrary, puffiness only increased after the fat resumed. Now experts say that only amputation of both hands can really help a woman. But she refuses surgery, citing the fact that it is better to have her own hands, even if they are like hers, than to live out life with prostheses.
Duangjey – not the only patient in the world with such a diagnosis. And doctors have long been aware of the existence of such a disease. But so far, no alternatives to amputation have been found.
