FOP-Disorder {Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva}

Tonight I was watching the Discovery Health Channel & I came across a episode on FOP that I found interesting so I felt like I wanted to share it with my fellow readers.


FOP Disorder {Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva} is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder characterized by the abnormal development of bone in areas of the body where bone is not normally present, such as the ligaments, tendons, and muscles. This disorder causes the bodies skeletal muscles and soft connective tissue to undergo a metamorphosis, a transformation into bone, progressively locking joints in place and making movement difficult and impossible. As the disease progresses, there may be other skeletal malformations and the abnormal development of bone may lead to stiffness in affected joints such as knees, wrists, shoulders, spine, and/or neck. Its almost as if your body is a prison & your skeleton entraps you.














Its stories like these that should make everyone count their blessings. People spend so much time complaining about what they don't have, instead of being thankful for the smaller things in life. Like in the case, the ability to walk. I'm sure people with this disorder would give anything to be normal, instead they keep their faith & have strong "Wills" regardless their circumstances.



EVALUATE YOUR LIFE PEOPLE!!! I KNOW SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON YOUR SHOULDERS, BUT ITS FOLKS WITH WAY WORST SITUATIONS THAN YOU. WHEN THOSE TIMES COME WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, JUST REMEMBER PEOPLE LIKE THE ONE'S YOU JUST SAW IN THOSE CLIPS & HOW THE STILL WANNA LIVE GIVING THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES.
