Girls with disease do not know pain
14-year-old Gabby in Minnesota, USA, suffers from an extremely rare disease. He does not know pain even if he chews his fingers or pokes, scratches his eyes.
A few hours after his birth, his daughter Trish and Steve Gingras slept soundly even after being poked in their needles by the needle. At that time, none of her family thought of anything far away, but this little detail envisaged a challenging future with Gabby.

Shortly after the baby was born, Gabby's parents realized that their daughter was not exactly the same as other children. According to the Huffington Post, doctors discovered that Gabby had suffered from an extremely rare condition: Baby never knew pain.
Gabby chewed and bit her three fingers. She also chews her tongue so much that her parents decided to take her teeth away. The doctors were forced to remove one side of the baby's eye just because Gabby kept poking and scratching her eyes.
At the age of 5, Gabby and her sister Katie and her parents were invited to appear on the show of television queen Oprah Winfrey. In the program, they recalled the life of this special girl. Gabby's family always pays attention when she sleeps. They said that Gabby had a "more intense" childhood than other children.

"Gabby is growing up. She's a funny and agile person," said Sister Steve, Gabby's mother. Now my ability to recognize danger is better, but Gabby can still hurt herself without knowing it.
Sister Steve recalls, one day Gabby came home from school and told her "my back is funny" . They touched their backs and felt a raspy warmth. After X-rays, doctors said the baby's back was broken.
To help me control this pain-free disease, Gabby was taken to many places by my parents. She met an eye specialist, an endocrinologist and an orthopedic surgeon. Every doctor scheduled Gabby's private examination.

At the age of 14, Gabby was like another girl. The girl was charming to everyone she met and was often smiling at her best friend named Taylor. Gabby said that in the first grade, her classmates were curious about her condition but now there were no more questions.
"I feel like you understand so now I feel more comfortable than before. I like people around me, like making friends , " Gabby said. She understands that she can't do what she likes. Though uncomfortable, Gabby still tried to accept.
"I used to tell myself that I'm a normal person and everything is fine. I have a wonderful family and impeccable friends , " Gabby said.
