Taking steroids caused a rare disease in 28-year-old American woman Shanya Aisom - nails began to grow from hair follicles on her skin.
28-year-old student Shanina Aisom suffered an allergic reaction three years ago, after which a strange syndrome manifested itself. Because of him, it is difficult for Shanina to walk and do many everyday activities. A woman's body is covered with small horny "needles" wherever there are hair follicles in the skin. You have to put on a wig on your head. The doctors shrug their shoulders, although they are diligently trying to understand what is the matter.
Miss Ice's nightmare began in her freshman year at university. In September 2009, after an asthma attack, she was prescribed steroids. After a few hours, the student's entire body began to itch and itch. Then Shanina's legs became covered with dark pimples that looked like boils, and doctors began to treat her for everything from eczema to staphylococcal infections. Nothing helped, I had to "confine" the patient to bed and try to get to the bottom of the truth.
In 2011, Iceom went to Baltimore for treatment, where doctors discovered that the “dark pimples” are actually human nails, very slowly but surely covering the patient's skin.
It also turned out that the patient had too much skin - 12 times more cells than necessary. Because of this, the integuments of Shanina's body breathe very badly. It is very difficult for the patient to get up and walk, but she has learned to use a cane. The family treasury has been devastated, and the medical mystery does not know where to get $ 250,000 to pay hospital bills. The insurance only covers the cost of five drugs out of 17 prescribed. Shanina hopes for the help of a charitable foundation, as well as that doctors will sooner or later be able to diagnose.
