The Sun Online - News: Leg hell woman 'taunted'
A WOMAN suffering from an ‘Elephant Man’ condition yesterday told how she is taunted in the street by strangers.
Mandy Sellars, 31, has Proteus Syndrome which has caused her legs to grow to three times the size of her body.
Only around 120 people in the world suffer from the incurable disorder.
Her top half is a petite size 12 but 16-stone Mandy struggles to lift her legs which are 35 inches in circumference.
Brave Mandy, who suffers from arthritis, told ITV’s This Morning show: “Adults can be very hurtful. In a restaurant one blurted out ‘look at the size of those feet’.
“I don’t mind children staring, but adults should know better.”
