Although there are many people who suffer from associated pain caused by various diseases, and wish it would go away forever, there are other people who do not feel any pain at all, which has turned their lives into a continuous series of disasters and fatal accidents. At the end of this article, you will realize that pain is a great blessing, and its demise may be a dangerous indicator.

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis

In the year (1932 AD), the doctor (George Dearborn) recorded the first case, of a man named (Bragh Bohemian) at the age of (54) years, who was ill with a rare genetic mutation, which was later called (congenital insensitivity to pain with lack of sweating), where the person loses The affected person has the ability to sense cold or heat. It also causes massive inhibition in the sweat glands, so the affected person does not secrete any sweat, and this makes him have difficulty regulating body temperature.

Dr. Dearborn recorded this man's life story with repeated injuries from a young age, in the absence of any signs of pain on him. For example, when he was about seven years old, he was involved in an accident that resulted in a deep wound, and his therapist at that time applied iodine to him, but he did not notice any response from the child to the resulting pain.

In the same year, Bragg injured one of his bones, and his doctor sutured the externally visible wound, and at that time Bragg did not feel any pain either. Dearborn continued digging into the memory of Prague Bohemian, and Bragg did not remember feeling pain in any of the stages. His life, with the exception of the headaches that haunted him for a long time, and the blurring of his vision at the time of his aforementioned injuries.

The necessity of pain in preserving our lives

Pain is an indicator that tells us the condition of our bodies, and what they need. For example, when you suffer from a toothache, this is a warning to you that makes you realize that there is a problem with your teeth that must be solved, and therefore you resort to the dentist when the pain increases, to fix the problem immediately.. Therefore, pain is an important means of survival and preserving life.. But what? Will happen when this indicator stops working?

The suffering of some people with insensitivity to pain

Out of every 125 million people on Earth, there is only one person with the Congenital Pain Insensitivity mutation. It is common for these people to have a short life, as a result of the risks they are exposed to as a result of the absence of a sense of pain... For example:

There is a woman named (Joe Cameron), who is sixty-seven years old, while she was dealing with the convection oven, she burnt her hand without feeling, and she only noticed after she smelled the smell of the burnt skin with her hand.. (Joe) entered the hospital, and the doctors performed an operation And they told her that she would suffer severe pain after that operation, but surprisingly, Jo did not feel any pain at all, and when another operation was performed, the doctors did not anesthetize Jo and made sure that she really did not feel any pain.

After conducting a few studies on her, it became clear to them that (Joe Cameron) is one of the few who suffer from congenital insensitivity to pain, and she has lived a long life carrying that rare genetic mutation.

As for (Stefan Bates), who is (23) years old, he was diagnosed at the age of five, after he fell from the stairs and broke his leg, but he continued to move and stand on it, because he did not feel any pain after his fall, which increased the complications of his injury. In his youth and adolescence, he had many wounds and bruises, the source of which he did not know, and he did not notice them until after a period of time by chance.

In Pakistan, there was a young man whose ignorance of his rare condition led to his death. After he was sure of his inability to feel pain, he began to enter competitions walking on hot coals, and adventures that were mostly dangerous, and he participated in violent activities such as instilling knives and pins in his body, and he ended up jumping from a tall building thinking that he would be the most extreme. A few fractures and superficial cracks would hit him, but he died instantly.

There are many other cases that are similar in carrying the genetic mutation, as well as in their repeated injuries, you will probably never know about them because they die as a result of underlying diseases that they do not recognize, and that take their lives, or accidents that they do not realize the extent of their seriousness until it is too late ..

When these cases were discovered, scientific laboratories became excited, and scientists conducted the necessary research to isolate the gene responsible for congenital insensitivity to pain. Indeed, they were able to do so. Pharmaceutical companies and pioneers in the medical field hope that this genetic mutation will be harnessed in developing a safe mechanism for pain relief, and replacing it with current analgesics. that cause collateral damage in the long run.

Who does not hate pain, and curse it? But the Lord may be harmful and beneficial, for pain is a great blessing, and its absence is the real curse. If you ever wondered why we suffer and how? Now you know that pain sometimes means life.
