From thongs to Depends in no time

Imagine this scenario: You’re a hip and happening 23 year old. Your doctor gives you a new drug cocktail to combat your diet. Now, fast forward just a few days or so. You’re now a hip and happening 73 year old. You’ve not changed from one person to another, you’re still the same person, you just look like you’ve aged 50 years.

Either everything around you will now dim and Rod Serling will appear, cigarette in hand and ready to give a closing narration or you’re Nguyen Thi Phuong.

Phuong, a Vietnamese woman, was given a new medication to fight an allergic reaction to seafood. The mixture has somehow led to her contracting lipodystrophy, a rare condition, or mastocytosis, an incurable disorder. Doctors aren’t sure at the moment what truly led to her contracting what, but they do know for sure that she looks as if she needs to be put into a retirement home. Because that skin is wriiiiiiiiinkllllllllled.
