The condition, also known as Sleeping Beauty syndrome, is so rare there are only around 1,000 sufferers in the world
Schoolgirl Stacey Comerford looks like Sleeping Beauty as her mum gently strokes her hand.
And that’s just what she is as she suffers from Kleine Levin syndrome which means she can sleep for MONTHS at a time.
The condition, also known as Sleeping Beauty syndrome, is so rare there are only around 1,000 sufferers in the world.
Yet Stacey, 15, of Telford, Shrops, is not the only British teenager hit by it as Mitchell Baldwin, 14, of Arbourthorne, Sheffield, can sleep for 22 hours a day, only waking to eat in a trance-like state.
Mitchell, who has missed exams and slept through holidays, said: It’s frustrating. Life is passing me by.”
Stacey’s mum Bernie Richards, says her daughter’s attacks can come on at any time. The longest lasted two months.
Bernie, 53, said: “There’s never any warning. I’ve even found her fast asleep on the kitchen floor.
“When she’s in an episode, she might get up to go to the toilet or get a drink but she’s not awake. I call it sleep mode.
“When she wakes, she thinks it’s the following day. She doesn’t have any memory of it.”
Bernie, who is a full-time mother-of-six, describes it like ‘living with Jekyll and Hyde’ because the change in her daughter is like a switch flicking.
She said: “She needs reassurance during an episode. It’s like she reverts back to being five years old. When she talks, she sounds like a child.
“When she’s in sleep mode she can be quite moody but she can’t help it.
"She’s like a toddler who wants to do things her own way. She stamps her foot if she doesn’t get what she wants.
“It’s like having two different kids in the house.”
Stacey started experiencing symptoms about a year ago, but she was only diagnosed in March as the condition is so rare.
When her illness first emerged, doctors put it down to her being a moody teenager.
Bernie said: “Stacey was tired all the time. She couldn’t concentrate at school. She’d come home zonked out and have to sleep the whole weekend.
"When it came to Monday morning, I couldn’t wake her up.
“Then one day I got a call from school to come and pick her up because she wasn’t very well.
“I took her to our GP. I had to pull Stacey’s legs to get her out of the car and get her into the surgery. All she wanted to do was sleep.
“The GP said: ‘I know it sounds awful but she looks like a moody, depressed teenager’.”
Stacey was referred to the Princess Royal Hospital, Telford, where doctors feared she had a brain tumour.
She was given a brain scan and was also checked for conditions like narcolepsy and epilepsy.
When the results came back clear, doctors were left baffled until a neurologist at Birmingham Children’s Hospital eventually diagnosed Stacey with Kleine Levin Syndrome.
Bernie said: “Having a diagnosis means Stacey knows it’s not all in her mind. She’s had that much stick off people. They don’t understand.
“I was even investigated by the local education authority because Stacey’s school thought I was deliberately keeping her out of school. They’ve stopped now we’ve got a diagnosis.
“I always knew there was something wrong. I know my daughter.
“She’s gone from a fresh faced teenager, full of energy to sleeping all the time.
“We can’t plan anything because Stacey might be asleep.
“She could go to sleep tonight and wake up next week.
“We try and laugh and joke about it because it’s the only way to get through it.”
There is no known cure for Kleine Levin Syndrome, although some experts believe that some sufferers do grow out of it.
Since her diagnosis, Stacey has been put on a high does of a stimulant drug called modafinil to help keep her awake.
Bernie said: “It seems to be working. She’s more awake and it’s improving her quality of life. We will have to see how she gets on.”
Stacey, who hopes to go back to school on a part-time basis soon, said: “I’ve missed nine exams and my birthday in November.
“It’s easier now people know what it is. It’s easier to explain to them. Before, people didn’t believe me. That was the hardest thing.
“People would pull faces at school if I said I was tired and needed to go home.”

A Northampton woman made an unusual discovery in her yard — a deformed baby cardinal with two heads and three beaks.
April Britt says she found the bird near the base of a tree Monday and returned it to its nest.
The 67-year-old Britt tells the Daily Hampshire Gazette the bird apparently couldn’t eat without assistance from the adult birds. The middle beak didn’t work well and the other two didn’t appear to be connected to the bird’s throat.
A scientist for the Massachusetts Audubon Society says animals with such abnormalities rarely survive birth, making the find all the more unusual. He says the deformities could have been caused by genetic or environmental factors.
The baby and adults were gone by Tuesday.

A man has been shot dead whilst found viciously chewing another mans face off.
The chilling episode has been caught on CCTV, which began by showing two naked males seen lying together beneath a Miami motorway underpass until police were called to the scene.
Witnessing the gruesome attack, the attending officer demanded the man to stop what he was doing. Instead he continued, leaving the officer with no choice but to shoot the aggressor in the hope it would end the attack.
Shockingly the man continued to chew on his victim until six more shots were fired, finally killing the attacker.
The victim is now lying critically injured in a nearby hospital.
“I stopped a City of Miami police officer and informed him that a homeless man was killing another person by biting and ripping his face to death,” Witness Larry Vega told Local 10. “The police officer confronted the aggressor, and he was like a rabid dog and confronted the officer. Then the officer shot the person four times,' he continued.
The identities of both males remain anonymous.
No weapons were found at the incident leading police to assume the attacker used his own strength to detain the victim. Sergeant Altarr William told The Miami Herald, ”There are other ways to injure people, some people know martial arts, others are very strong and can kill you with their hands.”
Though there is no evidence yet to prove this, police have also stated they think the attacker was likely suffering from a 'cocaine psychosis', side effects from the drug which raise the body's temperature and prompts the individual to strip.
The officer who fired the shots “is a hero and saved a life” according to police spokesperson Javier Ortiz.
What are the odds, eh? A man logged on to the internet to watch his 'first' porn video and ended up seeing his wife being thrashed in all manner of positions - in 11 different movies.
Egyptian man Ramadan fell to the floor of a Dakhalia internet cafe after viewing the video - although he did not reveal how long he watched it for, or whether or not the sound was up.
"I found 11 films showing my wife in indecent scenes with her lover... It was the first time I watched a porno film and I did this just out of curiosity."
Ramadan went home and hit up his wife, but she denied the accusations, choosing to keep her lips sealed for a change.
However, when he returned with evidence, she admitted that it was an ex-boyfriend that she still loved.
She told her husband that she did not love him, despite their 16-year marriage – and four children.
"She then confessed to be still in love with her boyfriend, saying he is as young as her and that I am an old man," Ramadan said.
Hard luck, Ramadan. Never mind, it could have been worse. You could have ordered a hooker who turned out to be your daughter, like this man here.

This 70-year old mean has a body of a 20-year-old body builder. Dr. Jeffrey Life looks like a young person with a face of an old man. His photos look photoshopped, but that isn’t the case. At the age of 60 he stared taking fitness very seriously. Before that he was an average 60-year man with a tummy. He came across a 12-week fitness challenge on Muscle Media Magazine. He decided to take the matter into his own hands however at that age his body could no longer hold muscle mass. So he started taking regular doses of testosterone and human growth hormone. And now he looks like this, take a look!
After the 3 months were up, he had lost over 25 pounds and considerably cut-back on body fat. This, however, was not long-lived and at age 64, his body could no longer hold muscle mass and began to shrink. The culprit – a condition known as andropause – involving a steady decline of testosterone levels.
And so, to get back to a young and pumped body, Dr. Life has for the past 9 years been taking regular doses of testosterone and human growth hormone. This, of course, along with a strict regimen of exercise (six days a week including hard cardio, heavy weight lifting, martial arts, Pilates, and more) and diet (with low GI carbs and supplements). And the result is plain for all to see.

While the rest of the world is awakening to the benefits of eating organic food, 21-year-old Kerry Trebilcock is doing just the opposite. Actually, what she eats isn’t even food. The young girl from Cornwall eats (yes, eats) soap and sponges. So far, she’s consumed 4,000 washing sponges and over 100 bars of soap. Well, I suppose she at least has super-clean intestines!
It’s no laughing matter though, as Kerry is suffering from a condition called Pica, which makes her crave things that have nothing to do with food. People with Pica are known to eat a variety of things ranging from metal to sand, and even chalk, coal, light bulbs and furniture. For a long time, Kerry’s diet consisted of sponges dipped in tea or hot chocolate, or spiced up with mustard and BBQ sauce. She would never leave the house without a snack – a small plastic bag of cut up sponges and sauce in a Tupperware.

But Kerry wasn’t always like this, she ate normally until the year 2008. It was during a vacation in Morocco that she picked up a hookworm infection of the intestines. Things haven’t quite been the same since, and her eating habits steadily worsened. Initially, she would only crave junk food, but soon that wasn’t enough to satisfy her craving. Even after a double helping of lasagna and a tub of ice cream, she would still be hungry. One fine day, she happened to take a new sponge out to do the dishes and had an overwhelming desire to eat it. When she gulped it down with the help of some water, her hunger was finally gone.

As satisfied as eating sponges made her feel, Kerry was terrified of what was happening to her. “I knew something was very wrong with me but I didn’t want to tell anyone as I felt like a freak,” she said. In 2009, she finally mustered up the courage to confide in a friend and see a doctor. It was then that she was diagnosed with Pica, and was told that her digestive system could be seriously damaged. Fortunately, Kerry has some hope of recovery and has been put on a program of counseling and vitamins as well. Now, she’s been able to cut back to just one-inch squares of sponge and three teaspoons of organic soap along with each meal. “One day I will beat this and be able to have a shower or do the washing-up without feeling hungry,” she says. We sure hope she does.

A 72-year-old man from western Nepal is hoping to prove to Guinness World Records that he's the world's shortest man.
Chandra Bahadur Dangi claims to be only 22 inches (56 centimeters) tall. Guinness World Records currently recognizes Junrey Balawing of the Philippines, who is 23.5 inches (60 centimeters) tall, as the shortest man in the world.
Dangi's nephew Dolak Dangi said Tuesday that his uncle would meet with Guinness officials in the capital, Katmandu, in the next few days to be measured.
Guinness World Records did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Another Nepalese man, Khagendra Thapa Magar, was known as the world's shortest man, at 26.4 inches (67 centimeters), before Balawing took over the title on his 18th birthday in June.

A woman in UK suffers from a rare medical
condition that makes her allergic to water. In fact, her disorder is so
pronounced that even a drop of saliva can make her break out into angry and
itchy hives.
This
disorder makes it very difficult for her to even receive a kiss from her
fiancé.
Anyone who
suffers from Aquagenic urthicaria cannot swim, enjoy long relaxing baths, get
caught in the rain, play sports or enjoy cold drinks, said the website.

24-year-old Rachel Prince |
The
24-year-old Rachel Prince, who suffers from this condition misses the intimacy
in her relationship. Whenever she receives a kiss, she has to immediately wipe
the saliva off her cheeks so that she does not get an allergic reaction.
Despite her trying
condition, Prince feels her fiance is very loving and makes up by buying her
gifts. Prince might have to face another hurdle on her wedding day when it is
time for the groom to kiss the bride!

Second Condition:
The
26-year-old is allergic to water – and can’t even shed a tear without getting a
rash.
Ms Dell
suffers from aquagenic urticaria, which means she can’t bathe, watch weepy
films or even go out in the rain.
Katie was
diagnosed with aquagenic urticaria – so rare it affects only about 35 people in
the entire world – two years ago. “I can’t even watch a weepy rom-com. If I
feel I’m going to cry, I turn the TV off,” said Katie. “I’ve missed the end of
so many films.”

And her
husband Andy has to help her shower. Katie said: “I have to be really quick, so
he washes my hair while I wash my body. I can’t go anywhere for about two hours
afterwards because it’s too painful.”
Her
condition erupted after she had her tonsils out at 16. “By 20 I wanted to dig
my nails into my skin – but doctors thought I was telling fibs,” she said. “I
was so glad when I got the diagnosis. They think the penicillin I had may have
altered my histamine levels.”
Here we have brought you the curious case of a real-life Benjamin Button, with a twist. A Brazilian
woman, who has neither aged, nor is getting any younger. Born on May 7, 1981, Maria
Audete do Nascimento still has the body of a baby.
Maria
belongs to a poor family, living in a mud house in Ceara, Brazil. Her family
consists of her father and his second wife, who has been caring for her ever
since her own mother died, 13 years ago. The family cannot afford to provide
any form of treatment for Maria, whose condition could have been reversed if
treated at birth. For now, she continues to live like a baby, unable to tend to
her own needs, and unable, even to speak. The home in which Maria lives,
however poor, does not seem short of love. Her step-mother, Dora, has taken
care of the woman-child since the day she was married. Dora believes that it is
the passion of her life, and that the child was sent to her as a gift of God,
to take care of.

Maria Audete |
Experts from
the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ceara believe that what Maria
suffers from is a severe deficiency of the thyroid hormone. As a result of
hypothyroidism, her body was never able to develop physically or mentally. They
also went on to say that if the case had been identified early on, Maria may
have grown up as a normal child. The University has agreed to provide free
treatment to Maria, to enable her to be a little more independent – to walk,
eat and say a few words. But for now she is, in some ways, what every parent
wishes for – a child that never grows up.
