        [–]VILLIAMZATNER 107 points108 points ago

        It is likely a genetic disorder called Prader-Willi syndrome. Before it was a recognized disorder people did not understand that it is imperative to control the diet of a child with this abnormality.

        http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/prader-willi-syndrome/DS00922/

        [–]triforceofawesome 92 points93 points ago

        My cousin has Prader-Willi. It's been really difficult for his parents. However, they've been really good about his diet and exercise so he's not obese. He's got more of a football player's build. They've got to lock the fridge and pantry and rigged the hallway with a motion sensor alarm at night.

        [–]bitcheslovedroids 69 points70 points ago

        That's intense

        [–]triforceofawesome 42 points43 points ago

        Yeah. I'm not sure how common it is or if it's related, but he's also got a whole host of other conditions as well, such as the mental capacity of a 7 year old (he's 22), sleep apnea, etc.

        He's got to be monitored at all times because if given the chance he will eat nonstop even past getting sick or his stomach bursting. Because of his mental capacity, he won't understand that he will always be hungry because of the absence of certain hormones and he will never learn to limit what he eats and to exercise.

        [–]istara 23 points24 points ago

        Yes it's normal, people with PW are intellectually impaired.

        However they are very cunning about getting to food, and sadly they are desperately hungry all the time. They basically can't ever live unsupervised, or they will die very young from morbid obesity. It's incredibly sad.

        [–]JJadziaDax 6 points7 points ago

        We have drugs to enable obese people feel less hungry to help them lose weight, are these drugs not able to help these kids, or do they not work because of the missing hormones/some other complication? It wouldn't help them intellectually understand to stop eating, but I'd hope it could make them feel less discomfort (sorry if this is a silly question).

        [–]istara 1 point2 points ago

        This is what I am also wondering. Hoping a doctor can clarify.

        [–]Bunnii 1 point2 points ago

        I would like to know that answer to this as well because I have been on medication that is essentially a synthetic version of the hormone that makes you feel full (symlin).

        [–]Scrayton 0 points1 point ago

        And even if we could detect it pre-birth, some people would still go through with it.

        [–]dalm 8 points9 points ago

        Are you implying we should abort PWS children? My 5 year old has PWS and this thought makes me sick. She may be mentally slow and hungry all of the time, but she is a beautiful, caring, sweet, and inpiring girl whom I would die for and kill for.

        [–]Scrayton 5 points6 points ago

        I knew this would be a controversial opinion. From what I gathered from the previous posts, children with PWS are in chronic pain. I'm not saying we should mercykill the children with PWS, I'm saying that if we are able to detect it before they are conscious of they're surroundings, aka sperm age or whatever, then we should stop them.

        [–]triforceofawesome 1 point2 points ago

        I know how awesome PWS people can be. My cousin is the sweetest, most sincere person I know. Every time I come over he asks if I've had dinner, if he can sit next to me for the movie, or if I'm staying the night. Sure it may be difficult to take care of him, but it's worth every bit to have him with us, and I'm sure you feel the same about your daughter!

              I have not personally met anyone with this disorder and only made this assumption based off of the genetics and molecular biology courses I've taken. I feel compassion for your aunt, uncle, and cousin; modern science has truly given us the tools to begin recognizing and managing such conditions.

                If true, here's a clip from EM:Home with the description mentioning Prader-Willi. It shows they need to lock up kitchen cabinets, and shows that they put in a "private" kitchen for the other kids to eat "guilt free" so they don't have to hide it from the other one (that fucking sucks).

                [–]Toenstarkweather 3 points4 points ago

                Yup. That be our house. I will consider the ama. Theres just so much that sucks about the syndrome that it's hard to talk about. Especially knowing the full breadth of interrogation that comes from redditers.

                    The appetites of these children is insatiable.

                    As a physician assistant student, I saw a child with this condition on my pediatrics rotation, and my preceptor shared one facet of this child's story with me:

                    The parents were very good with diet control, they had locks on the fridge and cabinets with food so he didn't overeat. This kid had a pet hamster to help with some of the behavioral issues as well. The hamster died and was buried in the back yard. One week later, the parents discovered their child had dug up the hamster in the back yard, and eaten it due to his insatiable hunger.

                    THAT is how voracious kids with this condition can be.

                    [–]lowertechnology 6 points7 points ago

                    As soon as the hamster was introduced into the story, I knew that it was gonna wind up in a fat kid's stomach.

                    Thanks for making me puke blood.

                    [–]rainbow_stereotype 15 points16 points ago

                    You can call bullshit, as I didn't witness it first hand, but that is exactly how I heard it. :)

                    [–]smellslikecomcast 2 points3 points ago

                    This is by a measure the craziest thing I have ever read / heard in my life. That's really weird. Also, the carnivore instinct. This disorder is not a vegetarian drive, otherwise the person would run away from home to be foraging in the plant life.

                                                          The best explanation my professors have given is, "assertion of the opposite of what was just said," but that seemed to be more in the context of an interjection. It totally makes sense now, and that fun fact got me hot and bothered enough to power through the last week of the intensive German summer school I'm currently taking. Yes, I am also a language nerd, and I'm sending you internet hugs for making my day. :D

                                                          "Doch" can also be used as a term of disagreement. "Ich bin die schoenste im ganzem Land!" "Doch, du bist aber haeBlich!"

                                                          I've even had arguments that simply went "Ja!" "Doch!" for several minutes.

                                                            Let's just laugh about it and be happy we didn't crash our parents car into a tree while going on a beer run (in this metaphor, the equivalent of blowing up the world after the development of nukes).

It was an auditorium facing an operating chair with cameras above and around, projected onto 14 different screens at a single time. It was pretty sweet.

We still do this kind of thing via talk shows and internet videos so I'm not really sure what statistical_anemone means by insinuating that we've somehow grown out of putting human curiosities on display.

It was a way for people to learn about things that might seem very strange or unsettling, but most of the "freaks'" acts were question and answer periods so that people could ask the armless man how he rolled his cigarettes or opened doors. It was a way to humanize disorders, diseases, and birth defects that seemed very nonhuman.

                                                                          The performers usually enjoyed their work as they got the camaraderie of living with people who had experienced similar things to themselves, had paying work and living spaces, and got to educate others. The sideshows were cracked down on around WW2 and a lot of the performers were rather upset to see their livelihood disappear because people thought they were being used and abused.

She had brought him in to our journal's office, and he had like a grocery bag of McDonald's fries. My girlfriend at the time kept asking him questions to get him to keep talking with his mouth stuffed completely full of fries. It was absolutely hilarious, horrifying, and kind of sad, all at the same time. Good times.
