This should be a series, where you just talk about very rare diseases. I’d watch it

I hope they find the cure...

my dad thought he had this but found out he was just getting old

I have a similar disease called SCLERODERMA. Instead of bone, my body is producing to much collagen causing my muscle and skin to harden. I deal with some of the same issues as this. My connective tissue has thickened in my arms so I cant raise them. Think about putting on a long sleeve shirt that was 2 sizes to small or wearing a pair of high heels that are to small. I say heels because my calf muscles are so tight its pulling my heels up and i walk and stand on my toes. As for all the people commenting about how people like this should just end there lives, yes, it has crossed my mind but then there are the days I wake up and think my children and how I can help lobby for government funding for research or help someone who just got diagnosed. I have no cure but medications and positivity has brought me great results where I can be among the living and live a decent life.

Man, that's scary........ I pray to god no one has to face this kind of disease..........

Current Daily Upload streak : 30. Wow Man.!

This is so fucking scary

The fact that the boy at the end of the video wore the same clothes from age seven through age eleven is scary enough...

The only time you’re allowed to say that you’re “big boned”

Watching videos like this makes me feel very lucky and humbled. I hope and pray no one has to suffer this disease and those affected I am very saddened to hear what you have to go through. Stay positive!

Caleb Burgess is my nephew. Thank you so much for informing and educating people about FOP!!! More general awareness on this rare awful disease means more funds raised to look for a cure or treatment to stop new bone growth!

I'm I the only one here that has never heard of this before ?

damn, most dramatic background music ever! if i ran some kind of horror channel this is what i would use...

When I was in elementary school there was a girl a few grades behind me and she always wore a helmet. She was in my mom's class and my mom told me that if she hit something that would make her bone grow. I didn't get it then. I feel really sorry for her.

What if it was easy to shave those bones like hair...?

Omg Ty for making this video! I actually have this and it's so painful :( I'm not bed bound YET which I am glad. I am wheel chair bound. I am so glad you made this video, I thought no one would know or care. Thank you so. Much

I’m glad that we are SO close to finding a cure. I’m just hope it comes soon. If you have this disease, just know that I’ll be keeping you in my prayers. You can do it! 👍🏻😄

Can you do a episode on why we forget

Incredibly interesting and informative. Great video

I feel so sorry for the people who have to live with these symptoms. It’s all we can do to help them in every way.

This channel makes me so paranoid. I love it ❤

I’ve heard or this! 😱 it stresses me out and o don’t know cause I don’t have it but still...

These types of videos are the ones I enjoy the most.

i need to know how many people are working in this channel , i mean the amount of time you guys spend researching and animating , recording must be looooooooooooong , yet you upload a lot , thank you for this amazing content

I read about a man named Robert Kinghorn, who at the time of the article, was the oldest living FOP sufferer in the UK. At the time of the article, which was published in 2005, Kinghorn hadn't sat down in over twenty-five years. When he was twenty-eight, doctors had told Robert he had to make a choice to sit or stand forever. It seems people with this disease overall find standing more comfortable than sitting. I read about a teenage girl with FOP, who also said that she would eventually have to choose between sitting or standing and when that time came, she would choose to stand. It astounds that these people can choose a position to stay in for the rest of their lives with such confidence and clarity. I can't imagine having to choose one position to be in for the rest of my life, because honestly, I have no idea. I imagine either position would drive me crazy after awhile.

I love your videos beacuse it's entertaining and gives us knowledge

*I learned about FOP about 7 years ago. Couldn't stop bawling my eyes out.*

the whole background music and his voice almost brought my depression back..I don't know why..I am really sorry for those who are suffering from this rare disease

This vid was posted less than 20 mins ago and ALREADY there are 6 dislikes... why would ppl do this to this sweet information channel Edit: hey now that... this is my first comment to have this much likes i wanna tell yall something check the description of this vid there's an error

Just imagine that you hit your small toe against a shelf while walking, and when you look at it the next morning, its double the size. This is where CRISPR could come in really handy.

Youre the best man!! Love your videos!

Thank you for explaining.

This is terrifying. Just the thought of what it would be like to live and eventually die like this sends chills down my spine.

This really, really downplayed how horrific this genetic disease is in later stages. For example, they often wind up having to be force fed by others as they can no longer open their mouths to eat or swallow as the muscles and ligaments have turned to bone. Likewise, they often suffocate as their diaphragm turns to bone as well making it impossible for them to breathe without mechanical assistance. Because one of the things about this disease? It doesn’t just cause your body to grow more bone. It causes it to replace just about any damaged tissue with more bone. Which is why you can’t just remove it via surgery. The very act of cutting a person open to remove the extra bone causes more bone growth. It also gradually contorts the bodies of those who have it as it becomes more and more difficult for them to move and locking their limbs in to place, leaving the older victims looking physically twisted.

Love the channel!

Congrats on another trending! 😊

Stuck between "yo Angelo" and "eventually he stopped thinking"

Thing is, a lot of the sufferers of FOP would argue with you about the "bed bound" thing by age 20. I've seen many a number of videos documenting people who are in their forties or fifties with this condition by now, who are not "bed bound". Their lives are fairly restricted, but they still manage to have a life...go out with friends, swim (some of them), enjoy cooking, have hobbies, what have you. Yes, the disease will catch up to them, but it isn't the same disease that killed you by age 40 absolutely, anymore, exactly. There will always be those "worst cases", though.

I don't know but this episode I loved out of all for some reason? I was just sitting down and I felt so relaxed while listening to this

In my Year 11 (England) Biology class, my teacher was talking about her son who was one of the very few people who suffer from this disease, this was a few years back and he was 12-15 then from what I remember so he must be between 16-19 by now. She would talk about how she would have to carry him in certain situations and it was awful to hear because it was someone’s mum talking about their child, not the typical scientist and a subject. I couldn’t imagine how they coped with it or what the kid was going through but from hearing how it effects someone first hand, it’s truly scary...

This channel ask way too many questions... my whole notifications list is mostly infographics.

Are we all just gonna ignore the way he said GCSE’s 😭😭😭

I love your style of animation!

This is the best cannel on KZfaq love your vids thay ekspayers me

My dad has something similar to this. After a bad hip replacement surgery the surrounding tissue turned into bone. He walks with a limp but he’s mostly ok

I also thought of Grayscale when I first heard Stone man Syndrome

I love your videos!!

Dang you've been posting alot! Not complaining 🤣

As scary as the condition is, it makes me wonder about the Marvel character named Wolverine. It's like his "healing factor" is more or less like the condition, but other than just bones going on a healing overdrive, it's every single cell inside of him. I feel for these people, and hope a cure can be found soon.

I have a water allergy, I need to take antihistamines or I’ll come up in painful rash every time I shower

Thanks for the information. I really hope they will find a cure for this.

OH MY GOD CONGRATS ON #7 TRENDING

Me: watches video Also me: *I think I feel bones growing*

Trending lets go

You should do one on POTS, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. It involves your blood pressure dropping too low, heart rate too high so it's hard for you to remain upright. We get dizzy, we faint. This video was very informative. I never heard of this before.

Great video! ;D

When I first saw the picture I thought it was a disease that made you feel high all the time

What about iron-man syndrome?

Make a video about overthinking and anxiety disorder

Wow u ppl make amazing videos ❤️

I guess “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is a lie

Quote of the day: “GCSis”

Love ya guys

Speechless

The Infographics Show: What is Stone Man Syndrome my brain: AYAYAYAAAAAAAA...

We all have KZfaq Syndrome .

There’s actually a set of twins that have this disease. Last I remember, they were giving them experimental treatments and it actually slowed down the bone growth

That slow motion animation got me extremely restless and anxious as much as the disease

Hey guys, would these people not be perfect as astronauts/cosmonauts? And maybe it would help them relieve there symptoms?

May the lord bless them 😢😢😢😢😢 They have all my blessings😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I am currently working on rare disease R&D, trust me it feels good when someone gets benefitted from your work. I hope someday me or someone will be able to crack Stone man too. Till then research continues

Can you please make a video about Muscular dystrophy

More like a plot for unbreakable 2

Its like greyscale

This scares me

Oh man, I had to teach a class about this disease as part of a project in high school. FOP is terrifying.

I think i have the "insects crawling or biting disease" but it only happens sometimes

My only Regret is that I have Bonitis

It really does seem like a horrific disease. They have my deepest sympathies and I hope a cure is found soon.

There are so many areaslike this that I desperately want to help in. I hope that I might as well be a little help if i ever decide to go down a health career path

Can scientist use genes of these people to make medicine to increase bone growth rate in injured people

I thought Stone man syndrome was addiction to getting high on weed

You should consider doing an episode on misophonia...very common yet little known about disorder.

There is still so much stuff I haven't even heard of yet wow

*breathe

Thought this had something to do with marijuana😂🤷‍♂️

Having aquagenic urticaria, it was neat hearing a remark in a video by a channel I like!

Did you have a surplus of videos finished that you're able to post so often or are you just this fast?

This video reminded me of a disease where a persons muscles transform into bone. I don’t know what it’s called but it’d be cool if you did a video on it!

I thought stonemen have greyscale...

Pls do a video on neurofibromatosis

I learn more from his channel than at school

Actual Boneitis

Early Squad where you at??

It’s so terrible to feel like there is nothing to save you from that pain

I clicked on this video thinking it was about jorah mormont... still, wasn't disappointed

Video on gta would be cool

You pronounce the E in GCSE

0:06 My story animated had entered the chat.

I have addiction to watching your videos
