Gain no pain

It's tough to find good articles on this. I hear something about the case study being detailed in Nature magazine or something. It's about a bunch of kids who have normal nervous system functioning, except for not feeling any pain.

Definitely worth a look over if you haven't heard of it.

I saw a video on a girl that had a similar (if not the same) disorder. It's hard to imagine what it would be like. The girl ended up basically clawing out one of her own eyes and ending up partially blind. There were also several times where she broke bones and no one noticed.
