59-year-old Thai resident Duangjay Samaksamam has the largest hands in the world. Their total weight is 94 kg. Alas, doctors offer her the only way out - amputation of the limbs.
Duangjey Samaksamam suffers from a rare disease called macrodystrophia lipomastosa, which is a form of localized gigantism of the fingers or toes. As a rule, the disease affects only the fingers, but in Duangjay both arms are affected up to the shoulders. Doctors believe that this is the only such case in the whole world.
The simplest actions, such as dressing, washing or using different objects, cause severe pain in the unfortunate. At the age of 25, she went through the first series of operations to remove fat from the limbs, but its reserves recovered quite quickly, and her hands became even more swollen.
Now doctors tell Duangjei that the only way to get rid of constant pain is to completely amputate her arms, but the woman herself categorically disagrees.
The owner of the largest hands in the world believes that soon there will definitely be a doctor who will be able to overcome a rare ailment. Duangjei is used to pain, because she has been suffering from a rare disease for more than 50 years. The disease does not prevent her from running her own store.
True, she spent the first 20 years of her life in voluntary isolation at home, as she was ashamed to show herself to people, but then her parents forced her to go to work in the family store.

Today, doctors from different countries of the world know about Duangjay, and many tried to help the woman, but all attempts ended in failure. Today, a woman can hardly hold a comb or shampoo with her hands, but she does not want to completely abandon them, no matter what perfect prostheses scientists come up with.
