for the record i posted the link.. no one told u monkeys to click it!
ALSO for the record, if it wasn't for Lahti telling everyone and their mama what traumatized her, than i would not have gone looking for the linkey which contained the video... so in summary, this is all Lahtina's fault

But yeah, people who suffer from this basically have to go through a whole routine every single day. It's being a prisoner in your own body. Sucks.

You can always google it but... the visual is only part of the horror. You have to read about it too.
So it's a genetic skin disease called ichthyosis (commonly referred to as "fish skin"). It's basically EXTREMELY dry skin. Normal skin cells renew themselves every 14 days (on average) but for people with this syndrome, the skin renews itself much faster than the old skin can shed so there is a build up and scaling. Some people have moderate forms of it but there are extreme cases. Dry skin obviously has little elasticity so sometimes the pull of the skin is so tight around the face that the eyelids and lips turn outward, cause deep cracks or fissures at the joints. That is too much for me to handle.
Buuuuut, if you want to look at the pic of a baby born with an extreme case of icthyosis, you can google images of "Harlequin baby". Oh yeah, and there is no cure and these babies don't survive. Pobrecitos.

ppffffff was that it?
thats older than the internet
Anyways, there is no cure for it like u say but i saw a report a few months back where there was this girl that had this skin disease on her feet and in some other parts of her body, the doctors helped her by taking out the fish skin and letting it grow normal again.......it would only help her for sometime but they also told the mother what is it that she had to do so it wont get so bad.

If I post it that means I'd have to look at it. If I looked at it that would mean I'd be even more traumatized. If I were more traumatized that would mean I wouldn't be able to eat. If I were not able to eat that would mean I'd most likely lose those 10 pounds that I'm having such a hard time losing. If were to lose those pounds that would mean I'd be even more ridiculously good looking. If I were any more ridiculously good looking that would mean I'd most likely be discovered by Hollywood (not Halloween ) and be asked to be in some stupid blockbuster. Naturally, I'd have to decline because it goes against all that I believe in, but I would accept to be in some low budget - artsy fartsy movie.
Howeeeeeeever, if Iiiiiiiiiii were in a low budget artsy fartsy movie that would mean I would likely make some changes to the script and I would take it from being a mediocre film to a masterpiece; likewise, my performance would most likely be Oscar nomination worthy. If I were nominated that would mean I would most likely be the winner. If I were the winner I'd have to deliver a speech. If I were to deliver a speech, I'd have to thank the little people who made it all possible which would, of course, have to be you guys and you'd so like that, wouldn't you? To steal MY thunder! You bunch of attention whores! Why couldn't you just let me have my little moment?
ETC: Thank, not think... just goes to show you how that word is not really part of my vocabulary.

but talking seriously I have surf the net soooooooo much and seen soooooooo much sh! t that i think i have become desensitized to soooooooo many things. I do draw the line in some things, like cruelty to animal, child porn, and very graphic killings(depends).

Just keep a six pack handy, that's what I do when I can't sleep. They are better than any sleeping pills and come with vitamins and minerals. Moosheads are fine for me, you can try Coronas. keep limes handy.
