Isaac Brown - 5-year-old boy from Iowa who suffers from a rare genetic disorder that makes him immune to pain, but does not protect from frequent injuries. Painful fall, deep cuts and other painful injuries that any normal child would make screaming with laughter, does not care about Isaac. Even after the boy broke his tailbone after falling from a hill, he quietly admitted that there is something wrong with the fact that he absolutely did not feel the pain.Isaac was born with a congenital absence of pain perception and, according to his parents, the first time since it was terribly difficult, as the boy was falling down face down. He thought it was extremely fun pastime. Not realizing the seriousness of the harm caused by his body, Isaac placed his hand on a lighted burner and cut himself shards of broken mugs. His parents appealed to many doctors, but they all said that their son's illness is incurable. The only thing they were able to advise - to teach Isaac aware of pain. Now the boy knows that the bleeding - a sign of pain, but can not understand that there is the pain of varying strength.
When Isaac broke his tailbone on the playground, the boy realized that something bad had happened to him, but did not know what it was. "He thought I broke my ankle," said the boy's mother. In addition to the inability to feel pain, Isaac also suffers from a lack of sweating - a rare disease that is diagnosed in fewer than 100 people across the United States, because of which he can not control their body temperature, or feel heat or cold. In the summer, when the temperature is high, he is forced to stay indoors or wear a cooling vest to reduce their body temperature.
Because the disease is extremely rare, doctors do not know its cause and treatment, which should be assigned to the patient. Trying to figure out how to help his son, Mr. and Mrs. Brown also enlisted the help of the Internet and social networks, and found the "Gift of Pain" - a group in Facebook, created by desperate parents who are hoping to give their children a chance at a normal life. Any family burdened with such a disease can watch and learn more about the manifestations of disease, as well as on how to prevent the causing of harm to himself sick.
