    Check these out:

    Locked-in-syndrome – the only part of your body that you can move are your eyes!

    Reiter’s syndrome – an infection that causes you to have uveitis (eye pain, irritation), urethritis (burning when you pee), and arthritis (joint pain.) Docs remember it by saying “can’t see, can’t pee, can’t climb a tree”

    Empyema necessitans – pneumonia so bad the pus pours out your chest wall!

    Situs inversus – all of your internal organs are reversed inside your body!

    Marfan’s syndrome – people who are unusually tall with super long fingers and limbs. Their armspan is wider than their entire height.

    Hope these help!

    A website & printed book I always refer to is:

    The National Organization for Rare Diseases

    There is a list & info about virtually EVERY known rare disease in existence.

    Hope this helps!
