Woman Grows Fingernails Where Her Hair Used to be, Baffling Doctors

Shanyna Isom has been living a nightmare. She has gone to every specialist who will see her and has traveled as far as The Netherlands in order to receive help. In spite of all of this, doctors have no idea why human fingernails are growing where her hair used to be.

The 28-year old former law student at The University of Memphis is now in a situation where she and her family are seeking whatever answers they can find that might make her well.  She’s the only person on the planet with this rare condition and is desperately seeking answers.

“Black scabs were coming out of her skin,” said her mother, Kathy Gary. “The nails would grow so long and come out and regrow themselves. They are hard to touch and stick you.”

    You may be right but how many people even are aware of Morgellon’s or the implications of it? We as black people need to be especially diligent when we give ourselves over to ‘doctors’ b/c historically speaking they have been more than happy to use us as involuntary human guinea pigs. Keep in mind, the Tuskegee Experiment went on for 30 YEARS while many knew and kept their mouths shut about it. Don’t assume that isn’t going on now.

    Morgellon’s disease?
