[ideabox]

It really upsets me to see a poor normal man deformed like that to suffer that diesease.
:'(
I dont know if you've seen it but it upsets me to see a man Suffer like that!
His head is like a evil man but is only a man underneath that lumped face.
People please if you would like to see the elephant man be warmed that it is scary.
Im not harmed by the scary image but how he could live like this.

I remember reading about the elephant man a few years ago it is quite a horrible disease for the person with it as they can lose control of there limbs because of the deformitys that arises from it

No one would look at him, They would s****** and laugh at the sight of him. In the end he left school because of his apperence and had to find work. If not no food. He went to join a freak circus and died at the age of 27 because of himself suffercating under the lumps while asleep. He beveloped the diesese at the age of 5.
:'(
People who laugh at the sight of him should be hit because its not funny.

Yes I read that story and now, that guy can rest in peace. It was very sad for him.

I think i remember how the lumps are caused... There is some sort of parasite?? [dont quote me!] that infects a tube [not very scientific soyers..] in your knee that controles the water leaving your foot and calf.. the infection makes the tube tighter and eventually the water cant escape causing big baloons of water under the skin :(
