Woman has Hulk-like condition"},"content":{"rendered":"
I'm sure most men would agree that the Incredible Hulk is a great character.<\/p>\n
Imagine if someone was annoying you and you were able to just develop massive muscles and scare them off.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
"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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
However, if she does not take it in time, then her skin will be so hard the needle will snap.<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
