This strange man who went down in history suffered from dwarfism before 2 1 year old, and then from gigantism. Is there anything special about his body?

The world is full of miracles, and anything we can't imagine happens all the time. Anyone who lives in this world has more or less his own troubles. Some people may feel sad because they are short, and some people may encounter some troubles in life because they are too tall.

If a person suffers from dwarfism or gigantism, people may not pay much attention to it, but if the two diseases happen to a person at the same time, it is doomed that he will be a very noteworthy person.

There was once a man in Austria who was diagnosed as dwarfism by a doctor because of his low height when he was a child. But the most unexpected thing is that after he became an adult, his height increased by leaps and bounds, and he was actually diagnosed with gigantism.

So he is also the first person in the world who suffers from dwarfism and gigantism at the same time. Although he has passed away, his deeds in history will be recorded forever.

I missed joining the army because of my childhood dwarfism.

There used to be a boy named Adam in Austria. He was born in a very ordinary family. When he was young, he didn't see any difference from other children of his age. He is a normal person intellectually and otherwise.

But with the growth of age, his height is much higher than other children, and he is not short because of obesity.

Although his family situation is very general, it is far from enough to eat. At first, Adam's parents didn't take this matter to heart, but simply thought that the child might be stunted and would grow taller in a few years. However, the reality is not like this.

Every boy has more or less a dream of joining the army, and Adam is no exception. He envied those brave soldiers from an early age and dreamed that he could become a soldier to defend his country.

/kloc-at the age of 0/8, he was ambitious enough to sign up for the army, but he was brushed off because of his height. This is the first time he suffered setbacks because of his height.

The minimum height required to join the army was1.75m, but Adam was only1.2m at that time. You know, Adam was already 18 years old. He stands with his peers like a pupil, maybe shorter than a pupil.

After returning home, Adam was a little disheartened, and his parents tried their best to comfort him. Because the family situation is not very good, I didn't choose to take Adam to the hospital for examination. Although disappointed, Adam didn't give up. He decided to sign up for the army the next year.

This year, he also realized his own shortcomings. He knows very well that although everyone doesn't say anything to his face, he will definitely talk about his height behind his back. Most importantly, if you can't pass the height test, your dream of joining the army may never come true.

So Adam spends a lot of time exercising his physical fitness every day, hoping to improve his own congenital defects through his later efforts.

He runs in a sweat every day, and the changes of his body can be seen clearly this year, but what he can't accept is that his height is only a little higher than that of the previous year.

He knew he would fail again if he signed up, but he went anyway. As a result, it is conceivable that he was once again abandoned by the army because of his height.

This year, Adam's parents finally realized the importance of this problem and wondered if Adam was sick. So I took him to the local hospital for examination. Finally, the examination results of the hospital told them that Adam had a rare disease "dwarfism".

Dwarfs are caused by genetic diseases. The most obvious dwarfism is that the body and bones grow out of proportion, but this disease will not cause mental deficiency. After listening to the doctor's analysis of dwarfism, I reviewed an Adam's growing experience, which was almost the same. An ordinary family suffered from a rare disease, which also made Adam's family fall into despair.

After dwarfism comes gigantism.

Adam had mixed feelings and didn't want to accept this reality. However, my height is really there, and now I have to accept the result. There is no specific medicine for dwarfism, and even if it is found out, doctors can do nothing.

After a long time, Adam almost refused to go out, because every time he went out, he heard someone speak ill of him behind his back, which made him feel even worse.

One day, the arrival of a man changed Adam's life again. One morning, Adam looked at his figure in front of the mirror as usual and suddenly heard someone come in outside. It turned out that a friend of his father came to see Adam specially. He is not the first such person. Almost every day, he "visits the boy with dwarfism" in the name of visiting Adam.

Adam ignored him, but the man stood behind Adam and kept looking at his "feet". Then he said, "If you are dwarfism, your feet should not be like this."

Adam, who heard this sentence, seemed to hear hope, and quickly stepped forward to ask what happened to my foot. The ratio of feet to body length should be 1: 7, but your feet are so big. Sure enough, Adam, who is only 19 years old, has reached the size of American size 20, knowing that only the feet of "giants" will exceed 20 yards.

Although this sentence can't change Adam now, in the next few years, he found that he can't grow too tall. Probably from Adam 2 1 year-old, he made rapid progress like taking hormones.

The growth rate will change obviously almost every day, from less than one meter and three degrees before to more than two meters now.

But at this time, he also realized his inconvenience. He can only walk with crutches. Due to his rapid growth, his body is uncoordinated in all aspects and becomes more and more "strange".

In desperation, Adam went to the hospital accompanied by his family. But the test results shocked everyone again, that is, Adam suffered from "gigantism".

It sounds incredible that from the previous "dwarfism" to the current "gigantism" happened to one person at the same time. However, this is the reality. After that, Adam's health became worse and worse, even life-threatening.

Finally, the doctor also adopted the way of surgery, although he could not stop growing taller and slowed down the growth rate. Adam relied on drugs to maintain his life, but his body function was constantly decreasing, and finally his life was fixed at 5 1 year.

People often say that "nothing can make you sick", whether it is a serious illness or a cold, it is better to live a healthy life. Adam is the first person in the world who was born in a dwarf and died in a giant since ancient times. We can't imagine how he spent his life, but he is still worth remembering.
