Can't feel nothing but sorrow for this poor lass 
Yet she's so strong.

Good on you girl

Totally agree with you Fly, brought a lump to my throat watching it. It's seeing people like her that makes you realise that we've got nowt to moan about.

One very brave young women there. Must be a frightening condition to have.

[Slacker]

Where's the Chesterfield link?

[Fly]

Sorry. There isn't one AFAIK. I'd never heard of the condition.
I just thought it worth sharing to a wider audience.
Alastian and OC also deserve recognition and full respect for replying to the thread xx

Sorry for not replying, but what is FOP?

Your bone joints seize up. You need help standing up cos your knees, elbows, hips, etc fuse together.
She's already lost the use of a leg and limited use of both arms.
If her fingers or jaw start to suffer, she turns to stone and can't eat

No problem with sharing but shouldn't it be in general section not Chesterfield? Had to google it for info.

This young woman has been on the tele this week. Think there has been/will be a documentary about her.

It was thursday night. I was watching it when I made the post.
Sorry I didn't make that very clear did I 

[Old Cruser]

Don't think I could have watched it Fly which is why I wasn't sure when it was showing. Most frightening condition isn't it.
