5 Diseases that can Curse You with Superpowers

We all know, diseases are not good for us. Who loves running nose and cough! In most cases, the disease only gives pain and pain. While some diseases are short-lived, there are some chronic diseases that remain lifelong. But if I say some old diseases can turn you into a superhero! cannot believe? But this is true and we are going to discuss this post. There are some rare diseases that actually provide amazing benefits that can be considered as extraordinary. Yes, there are diseases, which basically provide you some special types of superpowers. And we are going to discuss such 5 mind-blowing diseases. This post is going to be amazing, so do not go anywhere.

Hyperthymesia(Super memory)

Hyperthymesia is a very rare disease which gives you increased autobiographical memory. Almost 60 people in the world are found to be suffering from this disease. Autobiographical memory increases so much in this disease that without any conscious efforts anyone can memorize individual memories immediately. Anything that has happened to the person or anything related to him is remembered by unimaginable detail. A person suffering from hyperthymesia can tell the exact description of any random day of his life, can read a news telecast that he had seen years ago, quoting exact rows from a book he had read long ago. However, it is important to note that it was only for memories that are meaningful to a person, so we have used the autobiographical term to describe the disease.

An Australian writer, Rebecca Shark, suffering from this disease, told the BBC in an interview that she was wrapped in a pink blanket at the age of 7 years, not months, weeks, but just at the age of 7 days. ! She recites exact rows from Harry Potter's novels and describes the exact description of the incident of any day or past.

Sounds like a superpower, is not it? Not so fast. A person suffering from hyperthymesia gets cured in the past because he does not forget anything in the past. The person suffering from this disease does not really forget anything. Also, the woman does not consider this disease as a superpower. He often complains of a headache, very soon there is the pain in the stomach.

Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy(Super strength)

This is a rare disease or better to say that the mutation that is characterized by body fat deficiency and muscle size increase. With this condition, the person affected by the muscle mass doubles up, which in turn increases muscle strength. One case of this rare situation has been found in a child named Liam Hoekstra. He was diagnosed at the age of three years when he was showing unusual supernatural power for his age. He could pick up a 5-pound dumblr and could practice all that was impossible for normal children of his age.

This special situation was first discovered by the scientist in the 1990s, which was recorded in a cow (also called the Belgian Blue Cat), which is famous for unusually large muscles. In the year 2000, a German boy was told about such a situation, this disease was officially not recorded in any medical dictionary until 2004.

Basically, muscle overgrowth-related to myostatin is due to the mutation in the MSTN gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called myostatin which is present in the skeletal muscles (the muscles used for the movement). This protein actually controls the muscle growth so that they are not too large. So what happens after the mutation of MSTN that the production of myostatin decreases which leads to the overgrowth of muscle tissue.

This syndrome is transmitted genetically. If parents have this disease, then it is more likely that the child born by them also has muscle hypertrophy syndrome. In fact, Liam was adopted by the Hoekstra family at birth. It is said that Liam's biological father had unbelievable power, perhaps even he had the same syndrome. And this syndrome was genetically transferred to Liam.

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia(Vampire disorder)

Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED) is a rare disease or disorder that enables the peculiar properties found in the imagined individuals in imaginative characters such as vampires and Dracula. Disorders develop abnormal structures like skin, teeth, nails, hair and sweat glands. People suffering from this disease usually have small and pointed teeth which are like vampires. They are extremely thin and light and there are dark circles under their eyes. In some cases, hair in the body is absent.

Again, like the vampires, patients of HED cannot tolerate sunlight for a long time. They have to always check the temperature of their bodies and stay away from the sun. It is also important for them to avoid hot weather. Why is this? This is because they lack the sweat glands. As you know, sweat glands are responsible for the release of sweat and act as a thermal regulator for the body. Sweat is a major way through which the body controls its temperature, as sweating from the skin is vaporized, it cools the body.

Famous American actor, Michael Berryman, was also born with HED disorder. But he used his condition for good and performed many horror films due to his looks.

Now you can guess where the stories of vampires arise!

Congenital Analgesia(pain proof)

Congenital analgesia is another rare disease which disables the feeling of pain in the body. The person suffering from this disease can not feel the pain, but he will be able to feel other stimuli such as the feeling of touch, the heat of cuddling etc. By the way, insensitivity towards pain can give an incredible advantage in day-to-day life; A person affected by this situation will not feel that someone is suffering from torture, other things like pain like tattoos etc. Even working out will be very easy too. We can also create an army of soldiers with this disease, who will continue to fight skillfully without silly things like pain on the way. Does this not seem to be a real feature of X-Men?

Well, there are some negative aspects of this situation too. Pain is an indication that there is something wrong with our body. It also helps us to see the right part of the body where something is wrong. So, it becomes really dangerous when the excitement of pain does not work, because in that situation we will not get any sign of harm to the body. It is more dangerous for the children suffering from the disease, they can seriously damage their body while playing. Without pain they will not be able to understand their cutting bits, breaking their bones is a bad thing. They may suffer from internal bleeding and can order deadly diseases.

Although this disease makes one person insensitive to pain, it does not affect his physical appearance and intelligence. There is currently no treatment or treatment for this disease. Even though this disease is very rare, but there is a place where it is not. There is a village in Sweden, where cases of more than 40 cognitive analgesias have been recorded. Either disease is genetic, all Swedish are planning some big plans.

Savant Syndrome( Extremely Genius)

If you have watched movies such as Rain Man and A Beautiful Mind, you can get acquainted with Sawant syndrome, where the characters show abnormal memory and cognitive ability. Sawant syndrome is more or less related to autism and Asperger syndrome. However, it has been found that not all savingists are autistic. This disease is caused by some disorders in the central nervous system. Nevertheless, a person with Sawant syndrome is essentially a human eccentric person who is capable of remembering large amounts of data, which resolves complex calculations almost effortlessly. A servant is extremely talented in music, drawing, and painting, calculation, photography and architecture. They are usually multi-talented and can be artists, mathematicians, and musicians at the same time.

However, the disease is very rare, less than 50 known cases of the known syndrome are known. A British architect artist, Stephen Wiltshire, is also knowledgeable and people call him talented. Well, they did something amazing with their abilities. He managed to take a precise map of London after just one flight in the city. Talent, is not it? Also, there are other notable companions: mathematical genius Jadia Buxton and George Widener, Scientific Tempel Grandin, artist Gottfried Mind.

When you ask the servants, how can they easily remember things and make incredible music, they often say that they can "see". This may seem ridiculous to you, but if you think of Beethoven's works, who might have been a knowledgeable person, then you can understand something in it. Though Beethoven was deaf, yet he was able to compose almost innocent music, which lovers do.

Unfortunately, these heroic features of Sawant syndrome come with the price. As I said earlier, in most cases, Sawant syndrome is associated with autism and behavioral disorders. Although the servants are incredibly talented, they can be very anti-social and there may be difficulties in understanding basic human concepts.
