Don’t make her angry! Woman has Hulk-like condition

I'm sure most men would agree that the Incredible Hulk is a great character.

Imagine if someone was annoying you and you were able to just develop massive muscles and scare them off.

Although it sounds like make believe, a 50-year-old woman from the West Midlands named Helen Stephens has a condition called Stiff-Person Syndrome that sees her muscles expand from time to time.

"When I have a bad attack I swell up like the Hulk. I look enormous and I even call myself the Hulk, [Arnold Schwarzenegger] or Rambo. I'm like a bodybuilder," she added.

Unfortunately, Ms Stephens cannot control when the condition strikes – much like the Hulk – and has to take an injection in order to reverse the effects.

However, if she does not take it in time, then her skin will be so hard the needle will snap.

I'm sure Ms Stephens' children were afraid to misbehave when they were growing up, as you wouldn't want to mess with her when she's angry!
